Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Random House (Audio CD) ISBN: =””

My Review 4/5

Actually the “mother” from Death by Meeting this was a better written fable I thought.

Absence of trust—unwilling to be vulnerable within the group

Fear of conflict—seeking artificial harmony over constructive passionate debate

Lack of commitment—feigning buy-in for group decisions creates ambiguity throughout the organization

Avoidance of accountability—ducking the responsibility to call peers on counterproductive behavior which sets low standards

Inattention to results—focusing on personal success, status and ego before team success

As with death by meeting, crucial that leaders show vulnerabilities and engage in team building excercise. Also team should be < 5-8 people at the most.
