Which of the following is NOT a correct difference between a group and a team?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Option 1: In groups, performance is dependent on contributions of individual members but in teams both individual contributions and teamwork matter. This is correct.
Option 2: In groups, the leader or whoever is heading the group holds responsibility for the work. However in teams, although there is a leader, members hold themselves responsible. This is also correct.
Option 3: A team consists of individuals who are trying to satisfy a need through their joint association also influence each other. On the other hand, in case of a group there is a positive synergy attained through the coordinated efforts of the members. This incorrect. The correct statement should be " A group (not team) consists of individuals who are trying to satisfy a need through their joint association also influence each other. On the other hand, in case of a team (not group) there is a positive synergy attained through the coordinated efforts of the members."
