Expert Solution
Introduction

A person has to be a part of a group one or the other situation. Tasks are to be managed by a person either in a team, group or individually. In business organizations, groups and teams are formed to complete a task. Groups and teams are formed when the task cannot be completed or managed with individual effort. Organizational tasks cannot be completed efficiently if they are not managed effectively by group/team members.
