Good Team vs. Bad Team: 12 differences between good team and bad team

Respect & Love

Definition of a team: A team is a group of individuals who work together for attaining goals while sharing thoughts, communicating, commitments, taking risks, positive attitude etc.

Teams could be good or bad. Good teams always prioritize their goals, share ideas, are transparent, motivate each other whereas bad teams are full of negativity, unfocused team members, lack integrity, distrust each other and poor at communication with each other.

There are numerous differences between good teams and bad teams. I tried to sum up the most important differences under the guidance of one of the best business coaches of India, Mr Sushil Arora who is having 20 years of experience in business coaching, startup coaching, corporate training and leadership training programs. Let’s understand some of the differences.

Good Team Vs Bad Team

1 Sharing Ideas: Good teams share positive creative thoughts & ideas whereas bad teams gossip, share negative concerns & blame each other. Good teams grow because they learn from their failures in the past, they share and implement new ideas & maintain a positive atmosphere. Bad teams blame each other for failures.
