2. Introduction
There are a number of group concepts that link
directly to high performance in teams. The best
work teams tend to be not too small nor too large.
Teams are growing in popularity because they
typically outperform individuals when the tasks
being done require multiple skills, judgement, and
experience. Teams also facilitate employee
participation in operating decisions and help
managers democratize their organizations and
increase employee motivation

3. Differences between Groups and
Teams
•Work Group
A group that interacts primarily to share information
and to make decisions to help each group member
perform within his or her area of responsibility. No
joint effort required.
•Work Team
Generates positive synergy through coordinated
effort. The individual efforts result in a performance
that is greater than the sum of the individual inputs.

the same department.
