As with individuals, top teams excel in the triple focus. For a team, self-awareness means tuning in to the needs of members, surfacing issues, and being intentional about setting norms that help-like "raising the elephant." Some teams make time for a daily "check-in" at the start of a meeting to ask how each person is doing.
A team's empathy applies not just to sensitivity among members, but also to understanding the view and feelings of other people and groups the team deals with-group-level empathy.
The best teams also read the organization's dynamics effectively; Druskat and Wolff find that this kind of system awareness is strongly linked to positive team performance.
Team focus can take the.form of both whom in the wider organization to help and where to get the resources and attention teams need to accomplish their own goals. Or it can mean learning what the concerns are of others in the organization who can influence the team's capabilities, or asking whether what the team is consid ering fits the larger strategy and goals of the outfit.
Top teams also periodically reflect on their functioning as a group to make needed changes. This exercise in group self awaren ess allows frank feedback from within, which, Druskat tells me, "boosts the group effectiveness, especially at first."
They also create a positive atmosphere; having fun is a sign of shared flow. Tim Brown,CEO of IDEO, an innovations Consul tancy, calls it "serious play." He says, "Play equals trust, a space where people can take risks. Only by taking risks do we get to the most valuable new ideas."
