A collection of individuals who have regular contact
and frequent interaction, mutual influence, common
feeling of camaraderie, and who work together to
achieve a common set of goals.

Groups are particularly good at combining talents

over that of the individual.

What is the difference between a group and a team?

The words “group” and “team” are often used

interchangeably, but they are actually different in
context.

Individuals that get on the same elevator most likely

share some things, like: they work in the same
building and on the same floor or they may work for
the same boss and have similar interests. The mere
fact that they have something in common makes
them a group.

However, if the elevator breaks down and they get

stuck, a common goal of “getting out of there”
makes this group a team.
