Measure the Cognitive Diversity
of your own workplace teams
by reviewing yourself and your team members
and measuring the spread (the standard deviation, as it happens)
of thinking styles amongst your team
You can also measure the Psychological Safety
and the Growth Mindset of your team
Teams work better when they’re more cognitively diverse.
Greater cognitive diversity in a team or organization
can lead to higher productivity and better financial performance
Non-cognitively diverse teams can result in groupthink,
with the loss of independent thinking and individual creativity.
Try with your workplace teams
From politics to business, a diverse approach to thinking and problem solving can make your team stronger.
