Question:
What distinguishes a team from a group?
Options:
Teams have a leader responsible for the work, while groups do not.
Teams have complementary skills, while groups do not.
Teams have interdependence among members, while groups do not.
Teams emphasize both individual contributions and teamwork, while groups focus primarily on individual contributions.
Correct Answer:
Teams emphasize both individual contributions and teamwork, while groups focus primarily on individual contributions.
Explanation:
While both teams and groups consist of individuals working together, teams place a greater emphasis on both individual contributions and teamwork. In teams, members typically have complementary skills and work collaboratively towards a common goal. They are mutually accountable for their activities and aim to achieve positive synergy through coordinated efforts. In contrast, groups may focus more on individual contributions, with the leader assuming responsibility for the group's work.
