Five Dysfunctions of a Team

The "Five Dysfunctions of a Team" describe common challenges that hinder team effectiveness. They are: 1) **Absence of Trust**, where team members are unwilling to be vulnerable or admit mistakes; 2) **Fear of Conflict**, avoiding open, honest discussions; 3) **Lack of Commitment**, resulting from unclear goals or buy-in; 4) **Avoidance of Accountability**, reluctance to hold each other responsible; and 5) **Inattention to Results**, where individual goals may overshadow team success. Addressing these issues promotes better collaboration, trust, and achieving shared goals.
