Building Great Teams

on YouTube ↗49m

" summary

Great teams have five evidence-backed features: shared purpose, distributed power, measurable diversity, rich cross-team communication and the right people in the right seats. Cites: a 2012 Credit Suisse review of ~2,400 companies links having even one female board member to higher ROE and net income growth; Daniel Pink’s motivation experiments show monetary bonuses reduce performance on creative tasks, while autonomy mastery purpose boosts results. Practical tools and practices include structured factual/behavioral/situational interviews, Slack plus a HeroStatus update plugin, and managers who remove roadblocks.
