Unlock Google’s Teamwork Secrets: What Small Business Leaders Never Knew Could Transform Their Success
Ever wonder what really makes a team click beyond just having a bunch of talented people in the same room? Back in 2012, Google embarked on a deep dive into this very question with “Project Aristotle.” After dissecting data from 180 teams and chatting with hundreds, they landed on five surprisingly human traits that outshine pure skill: psychological safety, dependability, structure and clarity, meaning, and impact.
