#1 A group is a collection of people with a specific goal or purpose, who recognize and acknowledge their membership in a collective, and who control their interactions with one another. The second characteristic of groups is that they exist for a reason or purpose. Motivation to be in a group is often based around a common goal or purpose. In one study, researchers found that the strongest predictor of group performance was the collective goal or purpose of the group. This was measured by how much the members talked about their groups’ goals and how much pride they took in the group’s accomplishments. The third characteristic of groups is that they are connected to one another. A group has a network of connections within it. This network can be formal (members are linked to other members through some preestablished process), informal (members link to one another through some preestablished channel of communication), or both. These connections can be as simple as knowing who is on your team, in your group, or meeting for coffee every week. Or, they can be as complex as a series of emails you all sent back and forth during the development of some new product feature. The fourth characteristic of groups is that they recognize and acknowledge their membership in a collective.
