Google has decided to conduct a study to understand how to create an effective team for work. The project was called "Aristotle" and lasted for several years, which included hundreds of interviews with employees from different departments.

In many ways, the result of the research echoed Stephen Covey's book "7 habits of extremely effective people", which was written back in 1989. The book says that a good team understands and listens to each other. to discussion.

Google was in search of the perfect combination of people with different qualities. The result was interesting: the members of the best teams respect other people's emotions and remember that each of them should make the same contribution to the common cause.

Matt Sakaguchi, middle manager with Google, was one of those who worked on the project "Aristotle". In his interview with The New York Times, he was sick with cancer. He was met with silence, but then people began to share their stories from life.

The basis of the research direction is the concept of "psychological security", when people in the team share their opinions without fear of being ridiculed for them. So now, Google argues that psychological security is the most important factor in creating a successful team.
