Designing Teamwork
summary
Designing teamwork requires deliberate practices not platitudes: evidence shows 95% of people work across multiple teams and Google’s Project Aristotle ranks psychological safety above skills. Concrete tools include a team user manual, rotated facilitators, check-ins, timed individual thinking, Post‑its or Mural for visual collaboration, and engineered rituals like Asana’s no‑meeting Wednesdays or Buffer’s ten Slack agreements. Those habits create measurable gains in focus and participation when treated as prototypes to test, iterate and embed.
