When you are part of a team, you can suggest this exercise to the team.

Why is it good to do the exercise?

Is the best group the one with the smartest people? Maybe not. In a study led by Anita Williams Woolley, who studies behavior in organizations, 699 individuals were observed in groups of two to five people. It turned out that average intelligence did not have so much to do with actual performance; instead, it was social sensitivity among group members that was the determining factor. Does everyone get their chance to speak? Who is criticizing whom? Who is supporting whom? Simply distributing the conversation space more evenly can make the team smarter.

Inclusion with asynchronous communication channels

Make a list of your synchronous channels (communication that happens at the same time) and asynchronous channels (communication that can happen at different times). Go through them and find ways to turn synchronous channels into asynchronous ones to include everyone in a hybrid setup. For example, could the morning meeting be replaced with a morning write-up? Discuss: which channels should be synchronous, and which should be asynchronous?
