According to me Indians are good both as teams and individually. When it comes to team I think Indians are far better as in India we have diverse culture, different language, but still we are good in managing that difference from the beginning of our life. We are well adaptable with every difference and can connect well. Example is software industry its completely a team work and we are exceptionally good in it. This clearly shows our advantage. I think Indians do better in teams and not less when it comes to individual show of caliber.

Hi friends.

I accept the topic that we Indians work better individually because, Indians have an inbuilt leadership skill that the people of other ethnic group doesn't possess. Having these leadership skills it is difficult to constraint us to a small team and do petty jobs. We are all born leaders. Destined to change the face of the world.

Alrophin says.

"The world is destined to have its leaders from India. ".

Albert Einstein:.

"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made".

To name a few.

1. Rajiv Gupta is the GM of Hewlett Packard.

2. Vinod Khosla is the co-founder of Sun Microsystems.

3. Sabeer Bhatia is the founder and creator of Hotmail.

4. Arun Netravalli is the president of AT & T-Bell Labs.

5. Vinod Dahm is the creator of Pentium chip.

6. Victor Menezes, Rajat Gupta, and Rana Talwar are the Chief Executives of CitiBank, Mckensey & Stanchart. Goes on.

So these skills are something that we have inherited from our ancestors.

But the regretting fact is that the companies from foreign countries have understood this unique ability of Indians and have employed lots and lots of our people but we still don't understand this and keep them underemployed.

Hope the scenario changes and we Indians rule the world.

I think that Indians are well talented they can do their work as individuals and also in a team work. In both the situations they can do their best. For example because of Indians team work Microsoft and other software companies are gaining a lot. They can also work individually and do their assigned works perfectly. We proud to be Indians.

I think that every individual is talented in some or the other way, its just that sometimes they cannot channelise their ability to perform. Some needs the support of others and are more comfortable working in teams. Talking particularly about Indians I can say that there are lots of examples where Indians as an Individual (Chess Champion- Vishwanathan Anand) have performed exceptionally well and also as a team (Indian Cricket Team) had contributed to the nation's glory.

Ideal case is when every person is able to contribute at an individual level and help the team to deliver better results.

Every Indian are more talented. They can do the work individually in better performance rather than group. I agree the topic.

I truly agree with team work is better than individual one. By team work only we can achieve more concepts as well as innovative ideas which are very essential to perform any.

Particular task. An individual can do work with his own thoughts but while doing work with team we can share ideas and finish the work as soon as possible.

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).

I appreciate aysi's point. I feel we should be more interdependent. Individually Indians may be like lions in their own field. But even lions go in a pride. So all lions come together to work for a single goal of developing our nation will solve the problem. From above examples given by our friends India has already proved the talent at individual level. So for a developed India we need to do the team work.

Hi Friends.

Let us take our freedom fighters like Gandhi he started individually a peace war to get the freedom to our country, but later a team made and we got independence. Of course individually also Indians invented great things as our friend said Amuthan. So my conclusion is team work will get more results than Individuals.

I think that team plays a pivotal role in attaining the organization's task in time and with greater efficiency. Our army forms different battalions and works in team to safeguard our border. Similarly in corporate sector there are teams in project when some organizational project is allocated. Although one individual may outperform others, but its team that takes the credit for that job.

Suppose in a team, one individual is facing problem in understanding something, he/she may sought help from his colleagues and likewise efficiency increases for each individual within team. Remember that a house divided against itself cannot stand.
