WHY SMALL TEAMS WIN?

Have you ever noticed how small teams seem to get things done better?

It all boils down to communication complexity.

Basically, there's this thing called Metcalfe's Law that says the more people you add to a network, the harder it is to communicate effectively.

And it's not just a tech thing – it applies to teams and organizations, too.

When groups get too big, it's tough to keep communication flowing smoothly. Our brains can only handle so many relationships at once.

Scientists say we can only maintain close connections with about 5 people, and a few less intense ones with another 15.

That's why sports teams usually don't have more than 15 players.

Forward-thinking organizations have realized this and moved away from traditional top-down structures.

Instead, they've created networks of teams that work together autonomously with less middle management.

That way, everyone can communicate and coordinate without getting bogged down.

But here's the thing – when there's no boss, teams have to be small enough to make sure everyone can keep up with the communication and info-sharing.

It's all about finding that sweet spot where everyone can work together without getting overwhelmed.

And yes, we will NEVER turn back to the old model of working again!!!

It was nothing less than a GAME CHANGER for us!
