Indians Perform Better as Individuals than in Groups/Teams

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.

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.

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 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.

I disagree with the statement because by doing work in group person can gain something new ideas through others or better ways to do the work.

I am totally disagree with this statement because in India in every field we have to do team work rather than doing it individually. In team work everyone is helping each other or not depends on environment in that particular place.

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.

I agree with my friend. But only some will try to improve, most of the them will become careless and some of them may load their work on some others. But if one work individually there is no other go and one will work hard to gain knowledge about their field of work. So capability of an individual is improved rather in teamwork.

I feel everybody in this world have their own talent, some may good at one thing and some of thing they don't have fair ideas. So if we are in team growth is more as individual as well team.

Rather being individuals Indians excel only in groups. Its not a wrong thing to say. Our attitude is similar to the proverb "UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL". We should be proud being groups. All the individuals don't have the will power to expose their talents. But everyn person will atleast have a backgound support to encourage. That thing makes us to do better.
