The Five Dysfunctions of a Team /Book in 18 minutes/ Patrick Lencioni

Review
Patrick Lencioni offers a satisfactory fable about an executive wrestling to take hold of a company and create a smoothly functioning executive team. The narrative moves right along as he addresses the problem of feckless teamwork with the fictitious Decision Tech company as a test case. The novel is interesting, and you can read through it easily, getting to know the characters and participating in their business decisions. However, if you just want to learn about better teamwork quickly and leave, skim to the final chapters. Here, the author outlines a detailed model for diagnosing the five dysfunctions of a team and provides exercises and techniques to ameliorate those dysfunctions. The advice is complete and concrete.

In this summary, you will learn
・ Fundamental principles about teamwork
・ How to apply them to managing teams
・ How to avoid the five mistakes that undermine teams
