Hence, in this era of very high project failure rates, it is not surprising that organizations search for ways to improve the performance of their teams. Google's intensive study of the characteristics of their best teams led them to an unexpected discovery. The best teams create an environment of psychological safety by adopting two team norms that lead to important shared behaviors.
