Team or Group: Does it Matter?
Aug 23, 2014
The word "team" became a buzzword in many workplaces in the early 90s. It seemed like one day "poof" people found themselves on a "team". In many places, where this made sense, this lead to higher efficiency, creativity and innovation and increased engagement. Where it didn't make sense, though, such as in a group, it lead to dysfunction, decreased efficiency, disengagement and very low morale. Understanding the difference between a group and team is critical in that each has different expectations of its members.
This presentation comes from my experience both as a group member of a successful climb on Mount Kilimanjaro as well as being a member of a competitive women's dragonboat team who competed at the World Championships in Hong Kong in 2012.
