GROUP ← or → TEAM?

Priya called her crew “five people who happen to have the same job title.” Find out where yours really sits on the road from group to team.

Before you start

  • 1Pick one real group you belong to right now: a work crew, department, project, committee, or volunteer group.
  • 2Answer about what actually happens, not what should happen. There are no right answers.
