High-performing team

A high-performing team is a group that makes a difference less through the individual competence of its members than through how they work together. Google's broad research called Project Aristotle revealed that the secret of the strongest teams is not the intelligence of the members but the psychological safety among them; when people can speak without the fear of being judged, the team comes alive. Trust, a shared aim, and open communication form the ground of these teams. Even the most talented people can produce ordinary results in an unhealthy dynamic. Coaching helps a team see its own functioning from the outside and strengthen this ground together.
