TEAM vs GROUP

Presented By: Hitesh Baid

Coming together is a beginning.Keeping together is progress.Working together is success!

- Henry Ford

A small number of members with shared leadership who perform interdependent jobs with both individual and group accountability, evaluation, and rewards.

A team is...like a car in that it consists of multiple parts joined together to accomplish a particular task

A team is a group of people who come together temporarily to achieve a purpose.

In organizations that have reorganized the workplace into teams, results have

improved and costs have declined.

Reduced costsQuality of result has improved and service providedIncreases employee involvementReduces absenteeism and improves continuityReduces conflictEnhances creativity and innovationCreates better adaptability and flexibility in the

organization

Examples: Showing the Importance of TEAM and TEAM WORK

Two or more members with a clear leader who perform independent jobs with individual accountability, evaluation, and rewards.

A collection of people who interact with one another, accept rights and obligations as members and who share a common identity.

Example- Group of people waiting at a bus stop.

Task-oriented rolesRoles performed by group members to ensure

that the tasks of the group are accomplished

Maintenance rolesRoles performed by group members to maintain

good relations within the group

Individual rolesRoles performed by group members that are not

productive for keeping the group on task

Group Team

Understandings

Members think they are grouped together for administrative purposes only. 

Members recognise their independence and understand both personal and team goals are best accomplished with mutual support.

OwnershipMembers tend to focus on themselves because they are not sufficiently involved in planning the unit's objectives.

Members feel a sense of ownership for their jobs and unit, because they are committed to value based common goals that they helped establish.

Creativity and Contribution

Members are told what to do rather than being asked what the best approach would be. 

Members contribute to the organisation's success by applying their unique talents, knowledge and creativity to team objectives

Group Team

TrustMembers distrust the motives of colleagues because they do not understand the role of other members.

Members work in a climate of trust and are encouraged to openly express ideas, opinions, disagreements and feelings. Questions are welcomed

Conflict Resolution

Members find themselves in conflict situations they do not know how to resolve.  Their supervisor/leader may put off intervention until serious damage is done, i.e. a crisis situation

Members realise conflict is a normal aspect of human interaction but they view such situations as an opportunity for new ideas and creativity. They work to resolve conflict quickly and constructively.

Participative Decision Making

Members tend to work in an unstructured environment with undetermined standards of performance.  Leaders do not walk the talk and tend to lead from behind a desk.

Members work in a structured environment, they know what boundaries exist and who has final authority.  The leader sets agreed high standards of performance and he/she is respected via active, willing participation.
