The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
Through a gripping fictional narrative of DecisionTech, a once-promising Silicon Valley startup spiraling into chaos due to a fractured leadership team, Patrick Lencioni reveals the five interconnected dysfunctions that derail team performance: absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results. Follow new CEO Katherine Petersen as she uses no-nonsense team-building exercises—from vulnerability-sharing sessions to heated, constructive debates—to dismantle these barriers and rebuild a cohesive, high-performing team. Beyond the engaging story, the book breaks down each dysfunction with clear, actionable strategies, including team assessments, conflict-resolution tools, and accountability frameworks. Ideal for leaders, managers, and team members alike, it turns abstract team theory into a practical guide, showing how overcoming these universal hurdles can transform underperforming groups into units that prioritize collective success over individual gain.
