Project Aristotle (Google)

Project Aristotle was a study by Google that explored what makes teams successful. The researchers found that the key to high-performing teams isn't just individual talent but how team members collaborate and communicate. Factors like psychological safety—where members feel safe to share ideas and admit mistakes—are crucial. Other important elements include listening well, respecting diverse viewpoints, and having clear goals. Essentially, the project highlights that creating an environment of trust and openness fosters better teamwork and innovation, emphasizing the importance of team dynamics over individual skills alone.
