METRICS Lab stands for the Methodological Examination of Teams Research in Inter-Cultural Settings Laboratory. Accordingly, our main goal is to help organizations maximize the benefits of cultural diversity in their teams. As part of this effort, we engage in a plethora of projects, ranging from more theoretical (e.g., role of culture for team’s assumptions; Feitosa et al., 2018) to empirical (e.g., meta-analysis of team trust measurement; Feitosa et al., 2020) work.

Our lab members follow the 7 C’s Golden Rules:

1. Culture: We practice what we preach- We work hard to establish a culture that values diversity and teamwork

2. Communication: We follow a closed-loop communication

3. Clarification of roles: Members are welcome to ask for clarification when in doubt

4. Cooperation: We work together to achieve what we could never do on our own

5. Coaching: As we evolve in our careers, we serve as role models for others

6. Conflict Management: Not all conflict is bad (we can learn a whole lot from our mistakes!), and task conflict may even be encouraged at times

7. Consistency: It’s not about what you achieved once, but what you do often.
