Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions Of A Team

In The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni uses his power of organizational storytelling through a fable in order to model the complicated world of teams. In this book, Lencioni tells a story about the leadership crisis of critical decision making, Kathryn Peterson, the new CEO of Decision Tech, goes through in the rebuilding of a team in shambles. Lencioni describes the five dysfunctions of a team hindering them from reaching its full potential of success. He incorporates a simple, yet powerful triangular model divided up into five parts with the “Absence of trust” being the foundational base of the model and “Inattention to result” being at the high peak of the model. This book will illustrate how to overcome the lack of trust among
team members, how to help a team engage in effective and constructive conflict conversations, how to overcome the ambiguity of commitment, and how to avoid and hold each other accountable.
