Group:
It is defined as two or more individuals, interdependent and interacting, who have come together to attain particular objectives.
Few experiences with working in groups are as follows:
• Discomfort in being a part of the group due to varied reasons
• Insecurity and self-doubt due to someone else's intelligence and smartness in their thought process
• Being motivated by others while feeling low due to working on difficult tasks
• Ability to grab appreciations for a good piece of advice or work accomplishments
• Identifying the flexibility and ease in sharing work among the group
• Being accountable for assigned work
The experiences influence one's attitude in a group are:
• Working in a group or with a group gives exposure to different people - their thought process, which sometimes ignite a new thinking perspective and even contradict to one's own beliefs and habits
• Learning is the gift anyone earns working in group in both the ways, positively to make oneself transform better and negatively for assessing the do not's and consequences
• It helps anyone realize the potential in working as a group, individuals specialized in multiple skills together strive for a common objective to make complete
• It is a perfect platform to learn or adapt leadership skills as taking initiative makes anyone a leader, following to someone's instructions makes one a great leaner and a follower, and top of all, motivating the team to go ahead collectively gives immense experiences that can be gained working individually for years
• The competitive spirit develops working in a group as everyone strives to have that competitive edge over others to prove their mettle and to be recognized as a potential one among the group
Thus, it is evident that working in a group develops maturity levels of individuals, to think and act as per the group's perspective rather than individual alone.
