Page 53 keyword non-judgmental Google did a study called project Aristotle. They wanted to understand what the most successful teams within the company had in common. They measured 180 different teams using 35 different statistical models on hundreds of variables. Their data indicated that psychological safety, more than anything else, was critical to making a team work. The psychological safety is a term that Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson defines as a shared belief held by members of a team that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking. You can ask questions, suggest new ideas and admit you are wrong without being treated unkindly by the team.

In the book

The answer was not talent. It was psychological safety — the shared sense that you can ask a question, float an idea, or admit you were wrong without being humiliated. The best teams are not the ones with the best thinkers; they are the ones that unearth and use the best thinking from everyone. […] Decide, then delegate with intent. Make the call; teach your people how to decide; hand them the intent and get out of the way. Build psychological safety, then demand candor. Make it safe to speak, appoint a devil's advocate, and have the courage to say the hard thing yourself. Create more than you consume. If the business doesn't create real value for everyone it touches, it's already dying. — Leadership & Business (Leadership/Business)
