Team Engagement
Is the team producing more than the sum of its parts?
What it measures
Whether teams collaborate effectively, whether meetings produce decisions, and whether teams have enough autonomy to innovate.
Why it matters
Individuals can carry a company for a while. Teams are what let a company keep going when any individual is unavailable.
What good looks like
- Team meetings have clear agendas and produce decisions
- Cross-team projects happen without drama
- Teams have autonomy to make decisions in their domain
- Engagement scores are tracked at the team level, not just company-wide
How it evolves across levels

- L2 Structure

- L3 Performance
Teams have explicit autonomy; escalations are rare.

Team health is a strategic metric, not an HR metric.
