Practical Project Aristotle: Bringing Google Team Effectiveness theory to life
summary
A two‑year, department‑level experiment runs quarterly surveys across ~180 people to measure Google’s five Aristotle traits using Microsoft Forms, Excel and PowerPoint; surveys are optional and anonymous and include an employee NPS metric. Data surfaces team outliers (one tribe falls to −30 after a restructure, another posts a +44 point swing after targeted interventions), reports feed one‑on‑ones with leaders, and practical actions follow — low cost (licenses only) and judged effective where leaders act on the results.
