You’ll work hard to avoid any conflicts, to make sure everyone holds each other accountable, and that people are fully using their strengths.
WORKING WELL TOGETHER.As a leader, you spend a lot of your time making sure that your team is

The secret to a high-performing team is if everyone
TRUSTS EACH OTHER.
![Page 6: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Like any relationship, when there is a strong level of trust, collaboration will be strong too. The foundation of a good team (like any relationship) is that everyone is comfortable enough with each other to do good work.
![Page 7: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
They can challenge each other without fear of retribution, they can share ideas without the fear of being called stupid, and they can help each other get better without embarrassment.

Google’s project Aristotle is one of the coolest pieces of research about what makes a good team.
![Page 9: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A team of people inside Google’s People Operations department studied many teams at Google to see what
made them work well with each other.
![Page 10: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Google learned that there are five key things that make for a successful team:
1
How comfortable do you feel taking risks on this team without feeling insecure or embarrassed?
PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY
![Page 11: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2Can you depend on your teammates and hold them accountable?
DEPENDABILITY
![Page 12: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3
Are goals and roles clearly defined?
STRUCTURE AND CLARITY
![Page 13: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
4
Is everyone on the team working on something that is personally important to each of them?
MEANING OF WORK
![Page 14: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
5
Do you believe that the work you’re doing matters?
IMPACT OF WORK
![Page 15: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
They found that the first item, psychological safety, was by far the most important on the list.
Without it, the other four don’t matter.

Have you ever held back from sharing anything at work because you were worried about how people
might react to it?
![Page 18: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We all try to avoid any situation that will affect how our coworkers and managers perceive us.

In their research, they found that the safer team members felt with each other, the better they did in
almost every area of work. They were:
MORE LIKELY TO OWN UP TO THEIR
MISTAKES

FEELING OFSAFETYSo, how do we create that
on the team?
![Page 24: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
TRUSTTRUSTis earned and built over time, and you’ll only get
trust from others if you give it first.
Here are some tips on how I would build trust on the team:
![Page 25: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1
Share a big mistake you made, or a time that you were confused or embarrassed to share work.
Showing that you’re vulnerable and are willing to open up will set the tone for others to open up.
BE A ROLE MODEL
![Page 26: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2
You need to work hard to make sure that no one is scared of sharing anything.
Remind employees that it’s okay to fail and make mistakes, it’s about learning.
REMOVE THE FEAR
![Page 27: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3
When something goes wrong, instead of asking “who did this?”, ask “what can we learn from this?”
Work with everyone to figure out what happened and find a way so it doesn’t happen again (better documentation, more thorough checklist, etc.)
STOP BLAMING
![Page 28: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
4As a leader, you need to be mindful of the fact that not everyone learns the same way, not everyone is interested in the same things, and not everyone is as knowledgeable as you.
EMPATHIZE
![Page 29: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Researchers at MIT and Carnegie Mellon have discovered that similar to individual I.Q., teams have
their own collective intelligence.
![Page 30: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“Collective intelligence is significantly correlated to group composition, and is higher with a higher
concentration of females in the group.”
According to the authors of the study:
![Page 31: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Its main predictors are
- social sensitivity- the distribution of conversational turn-taking - the proportion of female group members
![Page 32: How to be-a-good-team](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030313/58ec99561a28ab223b8b4683/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Women generally perform better on measures of social sensitivity, which makes women more
valuable in the workplace.

Build an environment where teams are comfortable sharing things with each other. As team members
feel secure with each other they’ll work better together.
