◆ The existence of the "Code of Conduct" that leads the team to success
With over 50,000 employees worldwide and showing a strong presence in the Internet world, Google has organized teams and works with a number of talented people. It has been thought that Google has gotten remarkable success because it has gathered outstanding talent, apparently there are other reasons in fact.

Google's People Analytics Operation (Human Resources Analysis Division) has implemented a project "Project Aristotle" (Project Aristotle) ​​to reform labor from 2012 in order to increase the productivity of the organization. The team that has excellent results should have some sort of feature and it was a project aimed at locating something, but the result was surprising.

"We have investigated a total of 180 teams, which gathers the project with the head of the department," We gathered a very large amount of data, but from that there was a specific character and skill · I could not find anything that showed that people's background etc. made a difference, which means that "Who is in the team" is not a big problem, "said the excellent person We have revealed the fact that collecting does not necessarily lead to success.

Instead, it has become embossed that the whole team has decided how to act and functionCode of conductIt was said that it existed. In fact, a team that successfully accomplishes one thing tends to succeed in other jobs, and on the contrary, a team with many failures did not work well no matter what work. And the investigation team who promoted the project found that what greatly differed between "good team" and "team not functioning" is that "what team mates are talking to each other" To

The "code of conduct" mentioned here is that it is something like "unwritten law" or "culture" existing in the team rather than being written in letters. There are teams where only the legs are pulling together against the behavior of others and the leader does not have any idea. On the other hand, there is a team that can summarize the situation well even if there is something wrong with another team and each party can equally express their opinions, such as "airIt seems that something like "has a big influence on the atmosphere and eventually that" air "has influenced the performance as a team gradually emphasized.

By advancing research, it is said that the team that the "Code of Conduct" is solid has been revealed that "collective intelligence" of the whole group has been improved by that code of conduct. On the contrary, it is clear in this project that teams who do not have a code of conduct can not give conspicuous results, no matter how much personal qualities are collected by individuals.

◆ What are the "two features" commonly seen in excellent teams?
The survey team reveals that excellent teams can find the following two things in common. One of them is "There is an environment where each member can speak on an equal footing"That means that someone is not in a unilateral position but in a state where" Turn turns are equally distributed among members ".

And the other is "All excellent teams have high social empathyIt seems to be said that "I have it." It is a formidable phrase, to put it briefly, the members of a good team have the ability to take away from each other's tone, complexion, non-linguistic signature how the other person thinks right now , That.

In this way, the research team not only needs to gather excellent talent but also shows that it is "empathy" necessary for people to act collectively as a team. It may not be a content that will immediately exert its effect as a magic bullet for any organization, but it seems to be an element that should be placed in a corner of the head as an important guideline to lead the team to success in the long run .
