Collective Intelligence

An extensive study in 'Groupthink' which included testing the social sensitivity, as well as the IQ of the individuals, showed that:

Equal participation was a key ingredient of better performance. Group dynamics can get worse if team members clash frequently.
If team members are pitted against each other for a common prize, like a promotion, then group work suffers.
If team members are not open to ideas from other members or are interrupting them, it can sabotage group performance.
Teams with a higher proportion of women have better collective intelligence.

The Science of Teambuilding

"Tell me about a time you worked with a team." It is a common interview question, one many of us have heard before. If you're like me, a flood of past teams comes cascading into your brain, some good and others not so good. There is the team where you had to the do all ...

Psychological safety in team building

Team members need to feel comfortable speaking up to create the communication dynamics necessary for success.

It all comes down to trust, which is one of the characteristics teambuilding...

For an effective teambuilding:

Think outside the box when defining the format that works best for all team-members;
Avoid activities where people are singled out and might feel embarrassed. These create the opposite of the trust-building effect needed to build strong teams.
Effective teambuilding allows teams to tackle an achievable challenge together. Working through a challenge together increases oxytocin and group cohesiveness.

Storm To Perform: The 4 Stages Of Team Productivity

How do great teams make history? Looking at the track records of great teams like the original Apple I team, the 1969 Miracle Mets, and NASA's Space Task Group, it's obvious they went above and beyond the average achievement level typical of a group working together. But how did they get there?

Group Development Theory

Dr. Bruce Tuckman, a psychology professor, synthesized team development into four basic stages: Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing.

Forming

This stage of teamwork is all about first meetings and first impressions.

What everyone needs most is a clear understanding of their part in the journey and a setup for building emotional connections. Setting goals together puts their skills and interests into the open.

Storming

Most teams go through the storming stage in some form or another because discord is inevitable. The key value to emphasize in the team is positive intent.

A little conflict is needed to bring upfront weak spots in projects and to bring new valid arguments to the table. But constant storming leads to the destruction of productivity, projects, and ultimately, the team itself.

Purpose

The foundation of a good culture is clearly stating the purpose - why something is (or isn't) taking place.

While it is important to share the importance of a project, we should not forget to identify the part is can play in our team's personal development. So, for each project, establish the main goal of the team and identify what everyone hopes to get out of the project.

Roles & Responsibility

Clearly defining roles & responsibilities can help foster good communication. Then people can know exactly what they are accountable for and what not. They will also be able to identify whom to ask their questions when they appear.
