Show Notes
For the first time in over a thousand days of Squadify and forty episodes of the podcast, Dan and Pia are in the same room, and are joined by Juliet Owen, to discuss findings from a recent analysis on Squadify data.
Squadify works by asking team members to fill in a survey at the start and end of a particular period. Participants rate the importance of a series of conditions for team success, and then later return to record the presence of those conditions.
Key findings
- Teamwork is a more important condition for hybrid teams than it is for those that work face-to-face.
- Hybrid teams tend to be more task and transaction focused.
- Not being together is allowing us to become more easily distracted.
- Hybrid team communication can sometimes lead to fear of missing out.
What hybrid teams should focus on
- Creating psychological safety
- Using the right technology to enable better communication and avoid distraction
- Keeping communication clear, so that everyone shares the same understanding
