The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team (Patrick Lencioni)

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, by Patrick Lencioni, describe common issues that hinder team success. They are: 1) Absence of Trust – team members are unwilling to be vulnerable or admit mistakes. 2) Fear of Conflict – avoiding healthy debates that lead to better ideas. 3) Lack of Commitment – unclear goals causing uncertainty. 4) Avoidance of Accountability – not holding each other responsible for performance. 5) Inattention to Results – prioritizing individual success over team goals. Addressing these dysfunctions helps teams work more effectively, foster open communication, and achieve shared objectives.
