Why do we work in teams? Do they work? Is team bonding really necessary? How does the way we design work and our workspaces influence the creativity and performance of teams?
In the latest episode of The Floorplan podcast, Libby and Matt look at what the research says about 'teamwork making the dream work'.
World-leading organisational behaviourist Professor Markus Baer from Washington State University joins the podcast to share his insights from many years of research into creativity, innovation, motivation, and teams.
Libby and Markus discuss how different spaces affect creativity, what supports high-performing teams, why daydreaming at work is good, how micro-management harms innovation, and how getting off the beaten path leads to more creative outcomes.
Professor Baer has received accolades for his teaching from Washington State University's Olin Business School, where he won consecutive teaching awards, and is renowned internationally as one of the world’s top 40 business professors under 40.
What has been your experience of working in a team? Or do you have any stories about team-building activities? I’d love to hear about the good and bad ones in the comments.
