Trust Google to do everything using data.
So, when they sought the answer to the question: “What makes a Google team effective?” – they set out to answer this question using data and rigorous analysis. Over two years they conducted 200+ interviews with employees and looked at more than 250 attributes of 180+ active Google teams. They were pretty confident that they'd find the perfect mix of individual traits and skills necessary for a stellar team – but surprise, surprise! They were dead wrong!
Who is on a team mattered less than how the team members interacted, structured their work, and viewed their contributions. Using their rigorous data analysis, Google brought it down to 5 attributes: Psychological safety, Dependability, Structure & clarity, Meaning of work & Impact of work. But of these five, Psychological safety was far and away the most important one they found – in fact, it’s the underpinning of the other four.
The million dollar question then is: How can we build this in our own teams?
Attached is a ebook that will give you some of the answers. Hop you find it useful.
