The document discusses the differences between groups and teams. It states that a team is defined as a group organized to work together to accomplish objectives that cannot be achieved by individuals. Groups are more loosely organized where success is individually defined, members have independent tasks, and motivation is personal. For a team, members have interdependent roles, motivation comes from wanting the team to succeed collectively, and objectives require coordination across members.
