Indians Perform Better as Individuals than in Groups/Teams

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 would like to say that India work better in groups rather then individual. The good example is India festival shri krishna gokul asthma, where we need to reach the top of pot, as we need to go with all together to reach the pot, as individual can not reach.

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).

Friends I would like to bring in here the aspect of Physiological and Safety needs (You might recall them as the first two steps of Mazlow's hierarchy of needs), Most of the Indians are living in desolate conditions where their Physiological and Safety needs aren't even met.

In comparison, their Nordic counterparts are well provided for. Therefore, a typical Indian is busy fending for his basic needs of Food, Shelter and Safety. This makes him more and more self dependent and individualistic, to the extent that even after these needs are fulfilled, Indians do not break away from that frame of mind. Whereas a typical American is able to work for teams because his basic needs are being provided for and he now craves for Esteem and Social needs.

We cannot say that Indians are good in working alone and not in group. There may be very few people like that, but with this we cannot generalize it. If a person feel that he is able to perform well in group let him work in group or else let him work alone. If we take the case of Sachin Tendulkar, we did not see him playing alone, he was in group. But if we take the case of Viswanathan Anand, he plays alone.

So we can conclude that its how we work but what we work matters.

Showing Your potential and calibre is individual is also possible but when we work in team we exchange our view, thoughts, opinions with individual to individual and when we sum-up these thought and opinions together our work efficiency will automatically increase.

If take the example of sports like cricket it require collective job to win if Virat hits century and Shami take five wicket does not mean you win the match it require proper team effort to win. I give you some another example of freedom fighter if we talk about Mangal Pandey Tatya Topye Bhagat Singh they could not be able to achieve their objective of India become independent. Then Mahatma Gandhi come into scenario with huge supporter and we attained the freedom.

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.

According to me Indians are good as a individual and also at a team. Indians are so talented and have so much ability and adaptability that they can work both individual and at a team. It is only depends on the situation. As an example Indians are good at team sports like cricket (Sachin Tendulkar) and also good at individual sports like boxing (MC Mary Kom).

Looking towards this topic I am like to say that group work is much better than individual work. If we work in a group then we share our opinion about the task with other members of group so that we can understand about our mistakes and correct it by taking help of others.

Also we are able to complete our work in less time and accurately by combining the views of each members of group.

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.
