Alot of people would usually say they would be better of alone and independent when it comes to a task given to them. They would say how it easier it would be if they are to follow no one but their own orders and tolerate nothing but their own attitudes and behaviour.
Other than that, the latter would prefer to actually work in groups so the work would be divided and there is also exchanging of ideas that can be done. But why work in groups? Is there really a positive outcome to it?
To work in groups, is not merely to divide tasks so as not to have a full workload all by yourself. Having to work in groups can challenge a person as much as working alone. By working in groups, there are many ways and advantages it would do to a person.
To actually work in a group shall benefit a person when it comes to being open minded and at the same time, contributing by voicing out the ideas or thoughts you have to a set a people. Though we all know working another person and not just one would be very challenging and stressful at times, but what is actually beneficial is that you get to mingle and work with other people that have a different views, ideas, opinions and attitudes. Having an experience working with groups would be another way of being a tool in future when having jobs in the long run.
As much as working independetly and working with groups challenge a person both ways, having people to interact with also affect yourself. I mean you get to develop individual ideas, socialize with different people, compromize at certain situations, generate experiences/knowledge, and more. But what's important, is that you are able to taste the various attitudes and differences of the people in your group that also have various perspectives along with a variety of skills and expertise in order to make a flavorful relationship/bond.
One should remember that when it comes to success, one is not able to reach the top without people that were able to have teamwork and have worked in harmony amongst themselves.
So as we navigate through the life, we should be open to collaboration. Other people and other people's ideas are can benefit the whole team in many way possible.
