Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Katzenbach and Smith, "groups" and "teams" are not interchangeable terms in organizations. They define a team as a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. A group, on the other hand, is a collection of individuals who happen to be working together but may not have a shared purpose or commitment.
