I often hear the terms “team” and “group” used interchangeably, but here’s the thing...they aren’t the same and understanding the difference could save you a lot of stress. A team is more than just a collection of individuals. It’s a set of people who trust each other, who are aligned around a common goal, and who work collaboratively to achieve it. When you’re part of a team, you know that someone has your back and you’re all rowing in the same direction. On the other hand, a group is simply a collection of people working on similar tasks. Why does this distinction matter? Teams can drive innovation, overcome challenges, and achieve far more together than they could individually. So, the next time you’re thinking about your coworkers, ask yourself. Are we functioning as a team or are we just a group of people working side by side?

I appreciate the insight Ricardo Craib, and trust is such a crucial concern. It's the glue that turns a group into team. It reminds me of a quote by "The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team" author Patrick Lencioni: “Trust is knowing that when a team member does push you, they're doing it because they care about the team.” I believe we can push each other to grow and perform as a team 100% because of ~trust~.
