What Google Learned From Its Quest to Build the Perfect Team

Google found that it was hard to determine any specific sort of patterns of what makes a good team of people when it comes to characteristics and habits. Once they more seriously considered norms, formally agreed upon or unwritten it was understood that norms were the key to what grounds a good team. Although there are many types of norms so then came the question of which were the most promising. It was decided that the “right” norms could improve the level of collective intelligence while the “wrong” norm could keep an entire team from succeeding no matter their level of intelligence as individuals. Some of the better behaviors found are that everyone takes turns speaking and carrying along a conversation and a shared level of social sensitivity. Individuals on the better performing teams felt supported and able to speak up without backlash so a healthy level of interpersonal trust and mutual respect is necessary for individuals to feel their opinions and ideas mattered. A sense of psychological safety in a work environment and especially within a team improves not only individual performance but increased levels of team performance as well.
