Indians Perform Better as Individuals than in Groups/Teams

Hello everyone, thanks for the opportunity to discuss about this interesting topic.

I think working together or working individually is everyone's own decision. We cannot have proper written data that states Indians don't perform well in teamwork work rather they perform well individually its their state of mind that determines their nature and perspective regarding the work followed by ethics and the working method.

It also depends on their past experiences working with people and their trust issues on with working mates or sometimes it happens some have needs no disturbance in the work.

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.

I'll go in support of this topic. India is a country where people are willing to keep themselves idle, if they get a little time. They always depends upon there assistants or juniors to complete the task for them. So if they had to work in a team, everyone will look for another one to complete the project and the efficiency is decreased.

In the other hand if a work is given to a person, then he will give a better effort on the job.

The key fact is Indians are talented and can handle tougher to toughest problem, but they don't try it if any short-cut is there to skip the problem.

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.

I think Indian can perform better in team work because it is our culture to support others. Most of us learn from our childhood to help the poor, and don't harm other. If we want success, then we do hard work without pulling others leg.

Every culture has merits and demerits. Poverty, Illiteracy, dowry are some evils of our society, which creates greediness and makes a man selfish. Because of this Indians wants to do individual. If only one person know some skill, then many person will be depend on him. That person Make the most of that for earning money.

To win a war, group work is needed. Any organization sustains on group work and all employees have to work for a single vision of the company. Indians, from the ancient past have set an example of group work from the time of freedom to establishing greater heights in business, manufacturing industries etc, but due to severe competition and the urge to perform, people tend to forget the importance of group effort. So training and development programs should be provided to Indians to work better in a group and succeed in doing the job efficiently.

Hi very well said by everyone. I would like to add on my point of view that is we can perform better in groups than Individual. I think you all had heard about the story of bricks given by father to his four sons. If we are individual it is very easy to break us and if we are groups no body can easily break us.

Also as we are living in India which is the Mixture of all religions and culture we are happily living by celebrating all festivals as ours.

So I would like to conclude that Indians perform better in groups rather than individuals.

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.

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.

The first thing that's to mind if we talk about team is the Indian cricket team. Team work is about the unity but we cant ignore in teams there can be group-ism and ego clashes also. As individuals, We can think of Dr. Vijay Mallay who has single handily taken his company UB Group to great heights. In team we if perform to our best efforts and are more deserving we may treated the same as the person hasn't perform that well. Individuals have to rely on themselves to get the work done, which can help them perform exceedingly well.
