I totally agree with the phrase.

"united we stand, divided we fall" at times team work counts a lot. Showing your caliber n potentialities individually is also possible but when we work in team we exchange our ideas, thoughts, opinions, views etc. Ideas and thoughts do vary from individual to individual and when we sum up all those different ideas of an individual together our work efficiency enchances automatically which brings efficacy and better outcomes. On the contrary its preety difficult task to conclude whether working as an individual is better than working in a team or group. Both conditions depend upon the type of work we do. As stated above the example of "Vishwanathan anand (working individually) " and "indian cricket team (working in a group) so our main focus should always be on our utmost efficiency either working as individuals or in a team.

Hi to all. Friends i believe that it wont be appropriate to say that indians perform good in team or as an individual,they perform better. I think the primary reason being we have to categorise our discussion. For instance, take literature, science etc, these are the fields where individual performance is a must. Now look at the other side of the coin, fields like politics, sports, corporate house etc, they are more of a collective team-work.

Some of my friends have stated very good examples of Anna Hazare, Arundhati Roy, Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Gandhi, Rajat Gupta etc. Needless to say that they have all set benchmarks in their respective fields but I must make a mark here that it all matters to the field you are working in. When we talk of big enterprises, they have a business environment in which individual as well as team-work, both matters a lot.

We say India is an Agriculture-driven land,but we look in the deep roots, even that is a collective effort. The food grains available in the market is a chain supply from the farmers to the brokers and government and finaaly to the retailers.

Not to mention that we have the second biggest workforce in the world. We have many hands to work and many heads to eat. We have been taught since our childhood to live in a united culture and as we grew up, the fierce competition teaches us to be ahead of others. Thus focussing more on individual work. As we move onto the business world, we learn to gain competitve edge from others though working with them.

So i must say it all depends on the environment,the type of work-field,the competition etc.
It will be wrong to flip a coin and say that indians are good as team then individuals or vice-versa.

We Indians can perform well as individuals and groups.

It's person's ability to tackle the situations and go along with the teammates by ignoring their weakness and encouraging their strengths.

If individually everyone performs well then only collectively team can perform.

For example, Kapil Dev and M S Dhoni individually are superb talented cricketers and in their leadership team India performed well and could able grab World Cup twice.

It's only mindset or thinking that Indians perform better as individuals than in groups/teams.

Since the topic is that Indian are like to work as individual or in group, looking towards the topic I would like to say that, the group work is much better than the individual work. Since here we exchange, share our views and opinion with all, so also we can find out our mistake & correct it by taking the help of other group member as well. We can make new innovative ideas by adding up all the view, and also the work can get completed in a very less time.

Good Evening Friends,

Obviously, India is better in both individuals and group team work. That is better for work in each together. Because they are good skills in team work and individual works. And also they are work with good managing and maintaining skill in working places.

Thank You.

Hi friends.

The subject in simple way, the difference between "I" & "WE" and it also give you answer if you think deeply about question. When we work as I & When we work as WE you get the difference.

I - selfishness, ego & try to put extra work on coliuges head, Result-60% achievment.

WE - integrity, new idea generate, high leval of confidence, accept to face d risk. Result-100% Achievment.

So as per my view team work is better than Individuals. Lastly we are Indians.

Indians perform better in both team as well as individual. Every person has hidden talent and attitude, they better know which thing is to use at what time in the right time and place. Talking about their role as a individual or in group it is like in cricket, football and hockey each player gives their best for their team. But some tough situation comes like "the last wicket is remaining and the team needs to win 6 runs from 4 balls" at that time it is responsibility of that particular batsman in the pitch to take the match into his custody.

With respect to actors like Mr. Shahrukh Khan or Mr. Akshay Kumar and many more they have just grown from a ground level with lot of hard work and when they work in team they encourage the whole cast to perform well and tackle every tough situation which comes in between the film.

But in IT sectors people have to work in a team because on which project they are working will be based on different techniques, so they if they work in group or team they can easily handle every part of the project and the project can be completed with the given deadline.

Hence, you work in group or in individual you have to be down to earth, so that you get lots of appreciation and support from your team mates and other senior employees of your work place.

Thank You.

I would like to bring your attention to a major point that anybody working gives his best when he is having a feeling of security, a feeling of fullness or the cause is big enough and the example could be seen in Indian Army, Indian Cricket team, Indian women Hockey team But, now talking about in general Indians do not feel secured, competition has crossed its limits. Even the students feel sceptic in sharing knowledge as since competition is too much.

Therefore, it is very much right that Indians work best individually and can also create magic together once secure conditions prevail.

He gays hello!

I personally think that neither the individual nor the team is better but it depends on the field in which the work or task is done because for example take a look at the sports only if you are playing in Indian Cricket team it is a collective job to win the match not that Sachin only hits century or zaheer takes five wickets or so its team efforts at the same time when you see the other sports like in olympics games where in any game for that matter if its running 100meters individual has to run not the whole India will come and win the race for you.

Therefore I would say the cheer passion and courage to do the task is very important.

I think INDIANS are powerful and want to act interdependently. Everybody want to show their talents. In team work their unique performance are not exposed. Of course our team work got the independence of our country but there also we need a unique personality like Gandhiji. Everybody fought for freedom but one individual strikes in our mind. So either in team or individual every one ready to prove their talents Then Success will be ours (INDIANS).
