Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a high-performing team?
Research identifies five key characteristics of high-performing teams: psychological safety (team members feel safe taking risks and sharing ideas), role clarity (everyone knows their responsibilities), shared goals matched to company strategy, diverse skills and perspectives, and strong communication norms. Google's Project Aristotle found psychological safety to be the single most important factor, more than talent or experience levels.
How do managers build team cohesion?
Managers build team cohesion through: consistent team rituals (regular 1:1s, team meetings), creating opportunities for cross-team collaboration, recognizing both individual and team achievements, addressing interpersonal conflicts early, and ensuring workload is distributed fairly. ONA data helps managers understand team network patterns, identify isolation risks, and ensure all team members are appropriately integrated into the collaboration network.
