Only 1 is correct.

Teams are a distinct type of group with specific characteristics. Members of teams often possess complementary skills and share a strong commitment to a common goal or purpose. They have mutual accountability for their actions and outcomes. In teams, there is a positive synergy achieved through the coordinated efforts of all members working together.

The main differences between groups and teams can be summarized as follows:

1. In groups, performance primarily relies on the contributions of individual members. In teams, both individual contributions and teamwork are important for achieving success.
2. In groups, the leader or designated person in charge holds responsibility for the work and its outcomes. However, in teams, while there may still be a leader, the members collectively hold themselves accountable and take ownership of their responsibilities.
