Is Rotating Team Members Ever a Good Idea?

Misperception: The rotation of team members mixes things up and keeps ideas fresh.

Reality: The longer a team stays together, the better they perform.

In contrast to typical beliefs, keeping a team intact for a long time will increase the team’s performance. Furthermore, the team will continue to improve the longer they stay together.

The common thinking is that complacency will develop over time. In other words, we worry that team members, when together too long, will get stuck in their ways and not recognize that they need to pivot when changes in their context require it. If relationships and bonds become too tight, we fear that team members will become too tolerant of misbehavior within the team.
