Team: a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, set of performance goals, and approach, for which they hold themselves accountable.
-have shared leadership roles, mutual accountability, a specific team purpose that is distinguishable from the organizational mission, and collective work products.
Group: simply a collection of people with something in common; six people wait at a bus stop can be considered a group, but defiantly not a team.
All employers today would rather have a team of people than a group of people. Just like in our Simulations class we need to have teams of people that make up a corporation not just a group. It is important that each corporation and the GCB are a team because with the shared leadership one person would be doing all of the work. This still could happen in this class but since everyone in the corporation has to do their own speech it makes it much harder to depend on one person to do all of the work. The GCB is also a team we depend on each other to do everything and we each pick up the slack when someone can't be there. For example I could not pass out fliers one day so Caitlyn and Sarah went and took care of it and another example is when Sarah could not meet to do the newspaper Caitlyn and I pick up the slack and then Sarah went and printed off the newspapers the next morning. That is the definition of a team for this class helping each other out when you need but also holding your own and doing your part.
