The research is in: Our brains are hardwired to work better when we’re teamed with people who challenge us.
Diverse teams have higher rates of innovation, error detection and creative problem solving. Research by the NeuroLeadership Institute has proven that when we are forced to work in groups that are drawn from different disciplines and perspectives, areas in the brain light up that typically aren’t activated when we work in similar or non-diverse groups. In a nutshell, we use more of our brains when confronted by a room full of different opinions.
This is because diverse ideas challenge us. We’re forced to motivate and defend our positions with more clarity — or even readjust our thoughts based on new experiences and information.
Diverse teams and opinions tend to make everyone feel a little — or a lot — uncomfortable. The real secret to team performance, however, is that this is a good thing.
