Google Maps recently put a Vote widget on their Maps landing page that tells voters where they can vote. It’s simple, it’s useful, it’s relevant to the times.

One thing I appreciate about Google (in addition to their motto, “Don’t be evil.”) is the progressive, steady enhancement and additions they keep on putting into their products. The amount of change, for example, is remarkable each time I open up Google Docs, although one could hardly tell if you were to open it up each day. It might be one button. It might be changing the look of the tabs along the far right (especially the discussion and sharing functionality). But the sum total of this steady change is a constantly evolving product. Bad decisions can be backed out and don’t have such significant impact. And good decisions stay in, and themselves continually improve.

What can we do to incorporate this steady drumbeat of progress into our team chemistry and workflow?
