A team is smaller in size. Leadership in a team is shared. There is no single leader. Responsibilities in a team are also shared. Tasks performed by each member are interdependent. Team is held collectively accountable for the work. Evaluation of the work and granting of rewards is also done collectively. There is no individualism in a team.

A group usually consists of two or more people. Leader or leaders of the group are clearly defined. Members of a group work individually. So, their work is also evaluated and rewarded on individual basis. Each member of the group is accountable for his or her own work. Responsibilities are not shared and the work of each member is usually independent of the work of other members.
