Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team describe common issues that can prevent a team from working well together. They include: 1) Absence of Trust—team members aren’t comfortable being vulnerable or honest. 2) Fear of Conflict–avoiding healthy debate that leads to better decisions. 3) Lack of Commitment—uncertainty or disagreement results in poor buy-in. 4) Avoidance of Accountability—team members hesitate to hold each other responsible. 5) Inattention to Results—individual or department goals take priority over team success. Addressing these areas helps create a cohesive, effective team.
