The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable (edit title)

• Rated 4 stars

“Lencioni takes a fable approach to upper management's abilities to solve problems within a company and tackles the team approach. There's "them that are team players, and them that aren't". Do you like working in a team environment? Or in a company that approaches problems as a team to identify and resolve? If so, you'll like this book”

“A fictional business venture with dialog about the journey to a successful leadership team.”

• Rated 5 stars

“This is one of the few books that overlaps three of my favorite topics: leadership, management, and facilitation. It's an extremely quick read (a plane ride for instance) and it's teachings will stick with you for a long, long time.

A key point is that a team is most effective when operating at a level of “vulnerability-based trust” versus the primarily superficial level of experience-based trust we apply based on predictability due to past-performance.

Lencioni does an amazing job of explaining the deeper level of (work-based) intimacy that is required for teams to hit peak performance together. ”

• Rated 5 stars

“This is one of the few business/management books I have given 5 stars, but it is eminently readable, well illustrated by it's introductory 'fable' and honest in admitting that while the concepts are easy the practice isn't. I recommend it to anyone working with groups with the warning: it will be a lot harder than it sounds, but I know it would be worth it.”

“Our daughter read it, then recommended it. My mother saw it lying on our table and read it one Mother's Day afternoon! Then I read it in two sittings. Finally, my husband was able to get it back to read. A very intriguing hard to put down book about how to make a team 'work'. ”
