lcmilewski 's review for:

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable by Patrick Lencioni

3.0

---

This book has a lot of good material for thinking about how to build a strong, successful team, but I hated that it was told like a fable. First of all, a fable has animal or mythical characters and is short. Second of all, it reads like a bad novel, while the point of it is to give you strategies for repairing and building your team. It reads like fiction but actually its purpose is non-fiction. I found myself wanting a straightforward walk through of the five dysfunctions instead of the longer "fable."
