In The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Patrick Lencioni once again offers a leadership fable that is as enthralling and instructive as his first two best-selling books, The Five Temptations of a CEO and The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive. This time, he turns his keen intellect and storytelling power to the fascinating, complex world of teams.Kathryn Petersen, Decision Tech's CEO, faces the ultimate leadership crisis: Uniting a team in such disarray that it threatens to bring down the entire company. Will she succeed? Will she be fired? Will the company fail? Lencioni's utterly gripping tale serves as a timeless reminder that leadership requires as much courage as it does insight.Throughout the story, Lencioni reveals the five dysfunctions which go to the very heart of why teams even the best ones-often struggle.

Relevant and timeless!

I asked my boss for a suggestion on a leadership book that he would recommend. He is someone who reads a lot of books in this space and when he told me this book without hesitation I knew I needed to pick it up. After I picked it up, I literally never put it down and read it in a day! The author presents and outlines his premise through the use of a hypothetical example of a team that was together for awhile but was dysfunctional. Although the scenario is from a corporate/business setting, I think the principles can be applied easily to educational settings or even interpersonal relationships. This book is accessible to anyone, entertaining and eye opening in its direct simplicity and easy to understand principles. I would highly recommend this to anyone! Read more
