Google’s 'surprising' discovery about effective teams

After two years of research...

It turns out that the secret to a high-performing team lies less in the individuals that make it up and more in the wider team dynamics. 
“Who is on a team matters less than how the team members interact, structure their work, and view their contributions.” High-performing teams, they found, almost always displayed five characteristics (see diagram).
According to their research, by far the most important team dynamic is psychological safety – the ability to be bold and take risks without worrying that your team members will judge you.

So I would just add that the manager has to be held in high esteem by his/her superiors to enjoy a similar sense of psychological safety; which of course, goes on up the company, right to the very top!

    James Capon is a founding partner of Lazy Horses. He feels he is rational when he needs to be. But he's probably wrong about that.
