In principle, it is logical to assume that the sizing of the team must be done considering elements such as the <strong>complexity of the tasks<\/strong> to be performed and the <strong>resources<\/strong> available, <strong>time<\/strong> and <strong>skills<\/strong> for example.<\/p>\n<p>However, just as intuitively, we know that as the size of the team <strong>grows<\/strong>, so does the <strong>complexity of coordination<\/strong> and the <strong>dispersion of decision-making<\/strong> capacity and responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>We want to provide an interesting starting point for tackling this <strong>complex choice<\/strong> in a vital phase for the birth of our #rightteam<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the British anthropologist \ud83d\udccc <strong>Robin #dunbar<\/strong> comes to our aid, who investigated the theme of <strong>social relations<\/strong> also from a quantitative point of view, summarizing the famous #dunbarnumber : he realized that the <strong>maximum number<\/strong> of people with whom we can maintain an emotionally relevant social relationship is <strong>\ud83d\udccc<\/strong><strong>150<\/strong>. It seems there is a limit of our brain in managing multiple relationships in a relevant way.<\/p>\n<p>Dunbar went so far as to detail the most commonly observed <strong>subsets of 150<\/strong>, namely <strong>50, 15 and 5<\/strong>, to represent progressively more intense and important circles of interactions. In other words, <strong>5 are the relationships that can be managed with the maximum level of intensity<\/strong>, to then rise to a maximum of 15 for the next level and so on up to 150.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 This concept, which is obviously a <strong>schematization<\/strong>, can in any case become a practical reference for sizing a business unit, for example by <strong>limiting it to 150 people<\/strong>, as well as a team that requires high emotional interaction (to achieve a peak performance in a very short time) perhaps <strong>consisting of only 15 members<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Let us know, if you want, in the comments your experiences, observations, curiosities.
