I found the book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team very interesting. I have never really set down and thought about dysfunctions of a business or a team for that manner.

After reading this book I know that I will be able to recognize theses dysfunctions in other companies that I am a part of. I really liked how easy it was to follow what

The Age of Heroes vs. The Age of Humanity The notion of alienation is a very unusual one yet it is a widespread feeling—a very subjective‚ somewhat indefinable feeling—and a critique of the nature of any society that exists today. This theme of a sense of estrangement from one’s surroundings‚ oneself‚ and other people‚ appears to be as old as history itself.
