Creativity & Innovation---Keith Sawyer

Creativity & Innovation

Starting in 2008, Google’s statisticians began “Project Oxygen”.* The plan was to statistically analyze years of performance reviews to identify which behaviors were associated with the best performing managers. The methodology also allowed them to rank-order the behaviors. Here they are, from top to bottom:

  1. Be a good coach. Provide specific, constructive feedback.
  2. Empower your team and don’t micromanage.
  3. Express interest in team member success and personal well being.
  4. Be productive and results-oriented.
  5. Be a good communicator and listener.
  6. Help your employees with career development.
  7. Have a clear vision and strategy for the team.
  8. Have key technical skills and use them to help your team.
