Why Team Culture Beats Talent: Vanessa Druskat On The Power Of Group EQ

What separates good teams from great ones? For Vanessa Druskat, the answer lies not in technical skill or strategic alignment, but in something far more elusive: emotional intelligence. She explores this in a new book she co-authored—The Emotionally Intelligent Team: Building Collaborative Groups that Outperform the Rest. Druskat has spent decades studying how teams function under pressure, how they build trust, and how they sustain high performance. Her research reveals that emotional intelligence isn't just an individual asset—it's a collective capability that can be cultivated, measured, and leveraged for long-term success. In our conversation, Druskat shared how emotionally intelligent teams operate differently, why psychological safety is essential, and what leaders can do to foster the kind of culture that supports group EQ. Her insights offer a roadmap for leaders, coaches, and team members who want to move beyond surface-level collaboration and build deeper, more resilient connections. The Collective Brain: Why Culture Beats Talent Druskat, who teaches organizational behavior at the University of New Hampshire, challenges the conventional wisdom that team success hinges on individual brilliance. 'A mediocre group of employees—who still have the skills required for the task—can outperform a group of genius-level skilled employees when the mediocre team has an effective set of norms and routines in place,' she explains. The key lies in how team members interact. High-performing teams share ideas, integrate perspectives, and stimulate new thinking through mutual learning. 'Interactions like these require a strong set of social norms to regulate them,' Druskat says. 'When those norms exist, the team builds a superior collective brain.' Rather than focusing solely on hiring top talent, she urges leaders to invest in the team environment. 'We need to teach leaders to hire the best team members they can, and then turn their focus and energy on building a team environment—a container of sorts—that enables the development of a superior collective brain.' The Most Common Leadership Mistake When assembling teams, Druskat sees a recurring error: overvaluing interpersonal skills without creating the conditions for those skills to be used. 'Leaders often assume that hiring emotionally intelligent employees will automatically lead to better team dynamics,' she says. 'But self-awareness and empathy don't get used if the team's norms and processes don't support them.' She cites uneven participation and poor listening structures as common culprits. 'Far more important than hiring for emotional intelligence is building a team environment that uses the skills in the room.' Her mentor, the late Richard Hackman, emphasized that teams should be composed of people with the skills needed to do the job. 'Surely if there are two employees with excellent skills and one has interpersonal skills, select that person,' Druskat says. 'But the most common error leaders make comes from their assumption that good interpersonal skills make for better team members. Far more important for the effectiveness of the team is to build a team environment that uses the skills in the room. Very often I see leaders emphasize hiring emotionally intelligent employees, for example, but team members' self-awareness and empathy never get used in the team because of uneven participation, or because the team's norms and processes don't utilize empathy and good listening skills.' Building Norms That Matter Druskat's research highlights the power of intentional norm-setting. She recalls working with a team of 'misfit but talented engineers' who were struggling with cohesion. 'We convinced them to develop a team norm we labeled 'demonstrate caring,'' she says. This micro-intervention had a profound impact. It wasn't about changing personalities—it was about creating a shared expectation that people would show concern for one another. Over time, the team's emotional climate improved, and so did their performance. Summary Vanessa Druskat's work on team emotional intelligence offers a compelling framework for building trust, resilience, and performance in today's workplace. By cultivating norms of empathy, constructive conflict, and self-reflection, teams can unlock a deeper level of collaboration. For leaders willing to invest in emotional dynamics, the payoff is clear: stronger teams, better outcomes, and a culture where people thrive.

Google's Gemini Live AI is finally getting serious about mobile apps

When Google introduced the Gemini Live avatar of its AI, it was nothing short of a revelation. The ability to have freewheeling conversations with an AI, which can also see the world around you through the phone's camera and make sense of it, is something that still astounds me. Now, it's getting ready to work seamlessly with the Android apps installed on your phone. What is changing? At its Pixel 10 launch event, Google announced that Gemini Live can now work with Calendar, Keep, and Tasks. So, let's say you are talking with the AI, and want to quickly save a note, you can do so by simply speaking the task. And while at it, you no longer have to open the Keep app. Recommended Videos While conversing with Gemini Live, you can directly tell it stuff like 'save a note about picking up cabbage from the store,' or 'add an entry for a meeting with John at 4pm this Saturday in Calendar.' The idea is to connect Gemini Live seamlessly with apps, just the way Gemini has already been integrated deeply within Google tools such as Docs, Gmail, Search, and more. With Gemini Live, you don't have to click or type, or even switch to another app.. All you need to do is utter the command and it will be seamlessly executed in the background. The best is yet to come Gemini already works with Google's own apps as well as third-party software such as WhatsApp using a system of connectors. Google is now focused on bringing that convenience to its mobile apps via Gemini Live for added voice-first convenience. Aside from Calendar, Keep, and Tasks, Google is also bringing it to the core communication apps, as well. 'We're adding the Messages, Phone, and Clock apps and bringing additional capabilities into our Google Maps integration, so Gemini Live will be able to help you in even more ways,' the company said in a blog post. Google says it's updating the underlying models to make sure that Gemini Live conversations sound even more natural. Users will also be able to instruct Gemini Live so that it can speak slowly and match their note-taking speed.
