Indians Perform Better as Individuals than in Groups/Teams

See Folks!! The question is not about is our cricket team is playing good or not. Look if it is like so why the hockey team is not on the Top. Indians are a little bit more emotional than the other world. We perform like anything, and we adjust with any situation. But soon enough the passion goes down if somebody get promoted among the same team. They will more happier if nobody get prometed :)
So according to me Indians are not good performer as a team. Indians always need a boss to perform better not genuis Coworker.

Hello,

I think Indians perform well in both cases whether it's team or individual. For group you can take example of ISRO, they have successfully completes mars mission with the help of a large team of scientist.

And as far as individual is concerned you can see any Indian entrepreneur, they all started on their own and turned their start-ups into billion dollar companies.

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.

According to me it depends on the person's ability, if he can cooperate with the team members then he is a good team player or he can be a team player but there are many people who love working individually because they think that they can perform the work according to there own wish no one will poke their nose in it and they also feel that no two persons are identical so there thoughts differ.

So how can they perform in a group if they have been assigned same work and because of this conflict occurs and team performance becomes low as compared to an individual performance.

In my point of view India can perform very well as individual and as a group. For example as a group Indian football team, the football team achievement is not the work done alone by Sunil Chhetri. Thus it is the hard work of each player of the team and for the passion they had. On the other hand we have World number one badminton player like Sania Mirza and Olympic bronze medalist like Mary Kom, these two struggle and face many obstacle alone.

But if I had to choose only one I will choose work as a group. Because in times of facing difficult task it is necessary to share our thoughts, ideas, opinions of each and every individual so that we could have a great outcome in order to solve the task in an easy way.

Friends, i really appreciate the points put forward by all of you. When we look at Indians, we can see a mixed pattern. For example, take some freedom fighters like Bhaghat Singh, Tantia Tope, Mangal Pandey...all were good but were not able to achieve their primary objective of making India independent...but it was only when Mahatma Gandhi came into senario with his huge supporters, we attained freedom. The same applies to Mass movement against corruption led by 74 year old Anna Hazare. Here one can see that Indians have done well in groups.
But we cannot also ignore the achievements of people like Abhinav Bindra, Susheel Kumar, Saina Nehwal, PT Usha, Karnam Malleshwari, etc who made our country proud in olympics. These are few names of Indians who excelled as individuals than in groups.

Therefore, we can say that Indians are good as individual as well as in groups.

In every sector of our society whether politics, sports, media, and many more. Only having individual potential is not enough to make someone successful. There are many people supporting an individual to achieve such success.

So why it is not considered as a team effort. Suppose we start from our own house. If we get good marks in academics. It also depends on our parents for encouraging us to be focused. Every individual to take initial steps has to depend on someone.

Hello, I think working individually is much simpler than working in team. In a team WE have to take care of many things such as one has to be good listener, supporter and most imp one has to set aside his/her ego and be generous so that each and every one get his chance to speak out their point of view.

Well, it depends. Some people perform better when they work alone and some people are more comfortable in teams and groups. Both has its own pros and cons. I would say that working in teams are good when it comes to projects, startups, group activities. The ideas and performance of the entire team is pooled in together to create something beautiful. But this doesn't hold good when it comes to heading an industry or business. I personally do not believe in partnership when it comes to business. This is because, during the course of time, their ideas might change. This causes friction and it might even lead to liquidating the company (assets and shares). Therefore its always better for an individual to head a company or a business and team of managers to work under him/her for the an industry to perform well.

Hello Friends,

As there is an old saying 1+1 makes 11 in terms of strength, confidence, ideas. So, 2 minds working together may it be physical activity or just a think process. The two working in 1 direction with same goals can achieve much better than 1.

Example. Big giant 2nd largest INDIAN IT Sector Company Infosys was started by a GROUP of 7 people.
