Google's Project Aristotle Confirmed High-Performance Teams Are Built on Trust
Introducing My Team"Work" Social Media Series
Today, I’m proud to announce my sixth social media series called Team “work.”
The focus of this series is on the "work" of making teams work better together.
Google commissioned a study, Project Aristotle, to understand the factors of high-performance teams. They found the number one driver was "psychological safety," which is essentially creating an environment where teams felt safe and that they could trust their teammates when discussing difficult or controversial matters.
If you want to develop a high-performance team-based culture, you must understand the importance of trust. Google has proven that high-performance teams are built on trust.
If your competitor is better at this than you, they have an advantage.
Questions for consideration:
- How would you define trust?
- What are the components of trust?
- How do you develop and maintain a culture of trust in your organization?
- What makes trust important?
- Have you ever seen a high-performing team that didn’t have trust?
- What does trust look like in a team?
- How would you measure the trust level within the team?
- What behaviors enhance and erode trust?
