Kurzbeschreibung
In The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni revealed the main obstacles that prevent most organizations from performing at the highest level. He detailed the five primary dysfunctions found in teams-Absence of Trust, Fear of Conflict, Inability to Commit, Lack of Accountability, and Inattention to Results-and provided a model for overcoming them. In this field guide, Lencioni offers more specific, practical guidance for overcoming those dysfunctions-using assessment tools, real-world examples, and more.
Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team looks at questions that all teams must ask themselves: Are we really a team? Are we ready for heavy lifting? How are we currently performing? It then provides detailed methods for breaking down each dysfunction while addressing the most common obstacles that prevent teamwork. The book's short format helps teams get up and running quickly and effectively. It can be used as the basis for a team training program, or can be read and easily implemented by individual team leaders and members-whether in business, nonprofit, academic, or any other organizations.
In the years following the publication of Patrick Lencioni's best-seller The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, fans have been clamoring for more information on how to implement the ideas outlined in the book. In Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Lencioni offers more specific, practical guidance for overcoming the Five Dysfunctions--using tools, exercises, assessments, and real-world examples. He examines questions that all teams must ask themselves: Are we really a team? How are we currently performing? Are we prepared to invest the time and energy required to be a great team? Written concisely and to the point, this guide gives leaders, line managers, and consultants alike the tools they need to get their teams up and running quickly and effectively.
