The Big Five. What psychological elements are important for an effective team?
The research has identified five elements that need to be addressed to create a high-performing team:
- team leadership,
- mutual performance monitoring,
- backup behavior,
- adaptability,
- team orientation.
In addition, there are three coordination mechanisms: shared mental models, closed-loop communication and mutual trust. During the workshop, we will explain these eight concepts and show how to work with them in practice. We will show the perspectives of a Staff Engineer and a Scrum Master. The workshop consists of a short theoretical introduction followed by practical exercises. As a result, we will create a plan for working with a team described in a case study.
