What Makes a Team Work

 "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." — Aristotle 

Google latched onto this legendary quote in designing Project Aristotle, a research project into what makes teams work.  

By applying 35 different statistical models on hundreds of variables, their research came up with five critical elements of effective teams: 

🔎  Psychological safety 

🔎  Dependability 

🔎  Structure and clarity 

🔎  Meaning 

🔎  Impact 

Finding the right talent is only the first step in creating strong teams that make an impact. Empowering those teams is critical to long-term success.  

In addition to Google’s findings, there are methods managers and leaders can utilize to understand the similarities and differences in thinking styles and behaviors of their team members. The PXT Select assessments we use can be useful in identifying and leveraging a group’s dynamics in a constructive way.
