How do you measure a team's productivity? In daylights? In sunsets? In midnights? In cups of coffee? Wait, scratch that—those are lyrics from a "RENT" song. In the real world, productivity tends to be measured by a team's efficiency of production, or how much output its members can produce compared to their input of time, energy, and resources.
A little research reveals that there's one main factor in making true productivity (i.e., performance) possible, and that's improving team collaboration. A few years ago, experts at Stanford found that people are more motivated to complete challenges when they're treated like part of a team, even when they're physically apart.
Similarly, a recent study conducted by the Institute for Corporate Productivity and Babson College business professor Rob Cross found that successful companies were up to 5.5 times more likely to reward collaboration than their low-performing counterparts.
