Independent and group

Independent
In environments with Independent tendencies, individuals are responsible for completing tasks and are accountable for the results. A single person may have decision-making authority in negotiations or on projects.

Independent teams operate as a group of individuals coming briefly around a task. They have a relatively weak sense of group affiliation, and one person may be assigned to many different groups over the course of their career. They tend to divide up tasks, with each member working separately, and then meet as a group to pull things together.


Group

In environments with Group tendencies, teams are close-knit and members accomplish tasks working alongside each other. Decisions are made through group consensus in negotiations or on projects. In Group environments, teams take credit or blame for performance, and individuals are careful not to show off or stand out. Praising one person on a team is considered an insult to the rest of the team.

Group oriented teams have a strong sense of group identity. A team may remain together for many years, as new projects are assigned to it. Team members are likely to socialize together outside of work and have strong interpersonal relationships. Teams tend to be protective of their members – even weak ones – and avoid sharing information with outsiders.
