A team is a group of individuals (human or non-human) working together to achieve their goals.

As defined by Professor Leigh Thompson of the Kellogg School of Management, a team is a group of people who are interdependent with respect to information, resources, knowledge, and skills and who seek to combine their efforts to achieve a common goal.

A group does not necessarily constitute a team. Teams normally have members with complementary skills and generate synergy through a coordinated effort that allows each member to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses.
