A critical factor for successful teams...team norms

A critical factor for successful teams is all too frequently done poorly or not at all—clear team norms.  In research on 120 senior leader teams from many industries, teams with outstanding performance (48% of teams studied) had much higher rates of clear norms than those with poor and mediocre effectiveness (Wageman et al, 2008).

Another researcher found clear norms to be more strongly associated with team effectiveness than any other factor that was measured (Hackman, 2011). Though conceptually simple, team norms are about creating group behavioral habits and this takes collective vigilance, repetition, and patience.
