The Five Dysfunctions of a Team (book)

"The Five Dysfunctions of a Team," by Patrick Lencioni, outlines common obstacles that hinder effective teamwork. These are: absence of trust (team members hesitate to be open), fear of conflict (avoiding honest debates), lack of commitment (hesitations about decisions), avoidance of accountability (not holding each other responsible), and inattention to results (focusing on personal success over team goals). Addressing these dysfunctions involves building trust first, encouraging open dialogue, ensuring clarity and buy-in on decisions, fostering accountability, and prioritizing team success over individual achievements. Overcoming these improves collaboration and overall team performance.
