130. Sizing Up Your Team

King-size is great when we’re talking about candy bars. But when it comes to designing impactful teams, we’re on team fun-size. That’s because the best teams share a clear purpose, have high trust, and are interdependent—which can be hard to pull off when you’re rolling 40 people deep. In today’s episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans size up how we think about team size and dig into: The new questions and contexts to weigh when trying to find an ideal team size What real team interdependence feels like—e.g., “I have an interest and a stake in what every member of this group does and works on” Designing teams that get stuff done without falling prey to groupthink or social loafing How to bust up big groups into smaller teams that organize around different flavors of work The dynamism and flexibility needed to team effectively in a hybrid-work world What sports and tarot can teach us about dream team size Our book is available now at bravenewwork.com We want to hear from you.
