Group vs Team

The video tutorial distinguishes between groups and teams. A group consists of two or more individuals interacting with some collective effort, but their performance is the sum of individual efforts minus process loss. A team, however, is a cohesive unit with common goals, creating synergy and achieving higher performance with less process loss. Teams have mutual interests in achieving their goals, leading to greater synergy and output than groups.
