For a successful team, some factors are needed such as, share mutual belief, full participation of all the members, individual commitment to reach a common goal, and see more in the similarities rather than argue for the differences. A team is not a group. Differences include members in teams work together while members in a group work mostly alone. The key difference is that in groups there is no support from members and no collaboration while in a team members work together to resolve issues and depend on one another for help. There are several reasons that cause conflicts to arise in teams, which include different perceptions existing between members, attitudes differ and moods and emotions of members affect their performance.
