In keeping with the parable style, Lencioni ( The Five Temptations of a CEO ) begins by telling the fable of woman who, as CEO of a struggling Silicon Valley firm, took control of a dysfunctional executive committee and helped its members succeed as a team. Story time over, Lencioni offers explicit instructions for overcoming the human behavioral tendencies that he says corrupt teams (absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability and inattention to results). Succinct yet sympathetic, this guide will be a boon for those struggling with the inherent difficulties of leading a group. Building a cohesive team is not complicated, declares Lencioni, president of his own management consulting firm and author of The Five Temptations of a CEO . Departing from the dry, theoretical writing of many management books, he presents his case in the context of a fictional organization, and in doing so succeeds at communicating his ideas. The story is about a female CEO who is hired to bring together a dysfunctional executive staff to work as a team in a company that just two years earlier had looked promising. The scenarios that follow are recognizable and can be applied anywhere teamwork is involved, whether it is a multinational company, a small department within a larger organization, or a sports team. The five dysfunctions discussed are absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results. At the end of the story, the main points are summarized, and clearly written suggestions and exercises are offered to help, bring about change. Concise and easy to follow, this book is recommended for academic and public libraries with management collections and for anyone who is a member of a team that needs improvement. -- Bellinda Wise, Nassau Community College Library, Garden City, NY ( Library Journal , April 15, 2002) "...there is a lot of good sense in this book... certainly offers some useful pointers...."

A++ seller! Great communication and customer service. Prompt delivery. Item was as described other than a listing error by eBay, not the seller who went above and beyond when it was not necessary or expected, to make up for it. The CD and case were as described and had no issues. I would definitely trust this seller and purchase from him/her again. So appreciative of the customer service. Thank you!

    An interesting read, especially for a subject area that I didn't think I'd find interesting.

    I am only about halfway through the book, but right from the beginning, it held my interest. I am looking forward to finding out whether the dysfunction issues get resolved.

    The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick M. Lencioni

    An excellent source for establishing trust within decision making teams that are typically stifled by over-bearing, competitive, un-confident, and incompetent members. This gives ways to create good conflict in decision making meetings. Ways to get everyones professional opinion without all of the personal and emotional obsticles. A great read with story a form example that you dont want to put down because you want to see what happens in a silicone valley high-tech corporation slipping from #1 to #3 and falling that the author creates to play out the 5 dysfunctions of a team and how a savvy woman from the auto industry met them head on and created a productive top notch team that learned to trust each other and bring out their specialities in the field to bring the company back to the ...

    Great book to read and re-read

    Mr. Lencioni does a marvelous job in demonstrating the different areas in which all teams need to improve on. I for one work in the IT field and have found such personalities can make or break a team. They refer to Myers-Briggs Type Indicator for evaluating the personalities you will have to work with. That alone has made me a better team member. Helping to build trust within the team is the first function, lack there of is the first dysfunction. Each dysfunction is given ample discussion and development before he moves on to the next one. There is a section that serves as a synopsis. Read the entire book and learn how to work with and get to know how these characters survive the valley and flourish.

    Fit your life not just business relationships

    Even though this book is written as a team building book it fits your entire life if your reflect on it. Your work, your marriage or relationship, and even close personal friendships are built with these principles! Great Book. The only problem that I can see is that people are different, as seen in personality profiles, mand getting them to buy into this and read it is just hard for them to do from thier own personality type. You have to have a leader that understands this and can drive the concept. Easy to read and I have already bought a couple of copies and given to friends and business partners.

    Impressively written - great ideology - easily implementable

    The book is a clever story about a fictitious company who has lost their direction. A small town woman leader steps into the new role as the GM of a large influential corporation. It is an easy read because the movement of change is compelling, confrontational, and received differently by everyone on the team. I would recommend this book to everyone, it teaches lifestyle attributes, to be implemented by all corporations who want a team atmosphere.
