This is Episode 9 of PsychCrunch, the podcast from the British Psychological Society’s Research Digest, sponsored by Routledge Psychology.

Can psychology help us work together better in teams? Our presenter Christian Jarrett hears about the benefits of appointing a "meta-knowledge champion" for the team, making sure everyone has contact with the team's "extra miler", and why you should think carefully about the physical space that you do your teamwork in.

Our guests in order of appearance: Dr Julija Mell (Essec Business School), Dr Alex Fradera (Research Digest writer), and Dr Katherine Greenaway (University of Queensland).

Studies discussed in the episode:

  • Why your team should appoint a "meta-knowledge" champion – one person who’s aware of everyone else’s area of expertise
  • Team effectiveness is disproportionately influenced by your group’s best performer or "extra-miler"
  • Minimalist, anonymous rooms are probably not a good place to do teamwork
  • In home or at home? How collective decision making in a new care facility enhances social interaction and wellbeing amongst older adults
  • Related resources from The PsychologistTowards Healthier Meetings and An Interview With Dr Craig Knight: Taking Back Control Of Your Space

Episode credits: Presented and produced by Dr Christian Jarrett. Mixing and editing Jeff Knowler. Vox pops Ella Rhodes. PsychCrunch theme music Catherine Loveday and Jeff Knowler. Additional music Zander Sehkri/Zeroday Productions (via Pond5). Art work Tim Grimshaw.
