The Teamwork Revolution: Why Most Teams Fail Despite Our Best Intentions

When Google launched Project Aristotle to uncover the secret of effective teams, they discovered something surprising: what matters isn't who's on the team, but how they work together. This insight forms the foundation of "Teams That Work," now required reading at top business schools worldwide. The timing couldn't be more critical - today's executives spend 70% of their time in team settings, up from just 30% two decades ago. Yet despite this shift, the reality is sobering: nearly 75% of employees report experiencing ineffective teamwork, and less than a quarter consider their own teams very effective. This disconnect isn't just uncomfortable - it's costly. Team-related problems contribute to half of business startup failures and are among the leading causes of hospital safety issues. After studying teams for over 30 years - from astronauts and surgical teams to corporate boards - researchers identified seven consistent drivers that determine effectiveness across virtually all contexts. A truly effective team isn't just any group working together. It requires sustained performance (consistently delivering results), resilience (bouncing back from setbacks), and vitality (maintaining energy for future challenges). The seven drivers are: Capability (having the right mix of knowledge and skills); Cooperation (trust, psychological safety, and shared commitment); Coordination (behaviors like backing each other up and synchronizing efforts); Communication (effective information exchange); Cognition (shared understanding about priorities and roles); Conditions (the context in which teams operate); and Coaching (leadership functions that guide the team). These drivers are deeply interconnected - weakness in one area often cascades into others, while strengths can create virtuous cycles of improvement.
