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.

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.

Hi friends,

Earlier in 90's management studies were not very common in India and therefore, a few were having the idea of the group characteristics. During that period, being ignorant to the different stages of a group, Indians preferred to work as an individual. Off-late, with more and more students opting for management studies, we understood that group has stages viz. forming, storming, norming and performing.

So the argument within the group, which were earlier considered as impediments for accomplishing any given task, are now being considered merely as stage of group and we know that all these arguments are leading towards giving the best ideas resulting in fulfilling the responsibilities perfectly.

The best example for groups, performing better than an individual is the Self Help Group in the field of micro finance. These SHGs are being considered, all over the world, as better option for extending financial assistance as compared to financing to an individual.

So I would say that the present era is the era of working in group and another example, in Indian politics, is the collation government and contesting elections with allies, which now a days is said to be the future of Indian Politics.

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.

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.

In my point of view the team or group work is the better than individuals, because when you take a team work the time will be less and effective, but in the individuals work the time will be difficult to do in less time.

If we take an example of transport office in our country it will divided into main branches and as well as sub branches.

If we take an another example like Private organisations.

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.

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.

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.

Hi guys,

In India, we have fields that need group activity and fields that require individual potential as everywhere else. We have a variety of success stories in both these fields like Vishwanathan, Indian Cricket, Freedom Victory, but the point is how many of these stories in each field outnumbers those in other countries. Its really a matter of accurate statistics if we need to find a right solution to our topic. That said, its not really teamwork or individual alone decides the victory. Its a mixture of both.
