The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lenceoni
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lenceoni
I finished reading this book yesterday. It’s a management/leadership book specifically on teams, and more specifically on dysfunctions. It’s an easy read because the concepts are introduced within a story (leadership fable). DecisionTech is a technology company and although it has better technology and more capital, it ranks third in its market. Their new CEO, Kathryn, is set on solving the company’s problem by first building a strong executive team, which includes addressing the dysfunctions.
The five dysfunctions are: Absence of Trust, Fear of Conflict, Lack of Commitment, Avoidance of Accountability and Inattention to Results. These were all resolved within the story, but not without major changes and struggles. In the end, the team was able to gain market share and the executive team became a dynamic and effective organization.
This would not have been my natural book choice but it was what was in the house that I haven't read yet. Most of my unread stash :) are in Cavite. But I learned a thing or two so it's all good.
