A few years ago, the head honchos at Google wanted to discover what made their most successful teams so successful.
To use this information to make more and more effective teams within the company.
So they set up ‘Project Aristotle’.
Which studied the hundreds of teams within the company, and elsewhere.
And, do you know what they found.
The actual make up of the team was relatively unimportant.
The teams with what they felt to be the best minds and highest performers in, didn’t neccesarily perform the best.
They found the best teams had nailed the following three things.
Three things, that when I read about this jumped out of the page as stuff we’ve worked hard on getting in our team of ninjas.
And may go some way to explaining the awesome individual results our team members get.
1. Psychological safety
When people feel that they can say and do what they think it right………
That they won’t be judged……….
They won’t be ridiculed………
They won’t be made to feel uncomfortable……….
They then feel more able, and more willing, to say and do what they feel needs to be done to get the result.
We’ve worked hard on creating a welcoming, intimidation free atmosphere.
The first of the ‘Three Principles Of RISE’ is ‘Be Yourself’.
2. Open communications
If people feel they can talk freely, they do.
Our ninjas know they can tell us anything.
Whether is something they’re struggling with, something we’re doing they’re not happy with, or anything else.
3. Empathy
Most FitPros hide behind this overly ‘professional’ FitPro Facade.
Pretending they love nothing more than burpees and broccoli.
Whilst actually facing the same challenges every does.
They’ve just got good at hiding them.
Our ninjas know we’ve faced (or are facing) similar challenges to them.
That we will understand.
Or, if we haven’t been through it……..
We’ll at least ‘get it’!
So, it’s cool to see that Google agree with what we’re doing.
We’ve always know that the team dynamic, the atmosphere and the ninja family were a huge part of what we do and our success rate.
We just need some sleep pods and an X-Box 😉
Much love,
Jon ‘The wife still ‘Yahoos’ stuff – like that’s an expression’ Hall and Matt ‘So Crates’ Nicholson
