Great reading. Small book, stuffed with useful information about building a good team. I'd recommend it to anyone involved in a team of any kind.

i imagine there are points in this book that need to be addressed by every management team. i find the points to be valid and would definitely like to see them implemented in my current work environment. but i think it is a hard thing for a team to apply these steps to itself without an outside mediator, or, as the example in the book, a new-comer to the team to oversee such application--so i can't say i absolutely love this book as some sort of "cure" for all team woes.

An interesting way of thinking about teams and teamwork, and the ways it can go wrong. I'm grateful for the fable -- it makes it easier to digest the "teaching" portion in the form of a story. (Though as a story it has some cringe-worthy moments.) I also believe the part where he describes the five dysfunctions as "simple but requiring discipline to mitigate."

idk i just had to read this for school, would never have picked it up otherwise
