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

4.0

---

Patrick Lencioni's books have always been quick and easy reads. The fable/story method of introducing principles is helpful to put them in context and provide memorable examples. The five dysfunctions are simple, dealing with them is not, it takes time. If you've read other of Lencioni's books, you'll be familiar with the simple concept, effortful execution pattern. The summary at the end works as good reference if you intended to implement the lessons of the book (I'm guessing on this, as I'm writing this immediately after reading the book, I've used other books of his similarly though). If you've read any of his books, then you know what to expect, and I recommend it. My favorite is still The Three Signs of a Miserable Job, but this worth the read of working on a team is what you need at the moment.
