Recommendation

Patrick Lencioni wrote this as a follow-up to his 2002 “fable,” The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. It applies the earlier book’s concepts, and suggests many exercises, approaches, examples and explanations you can use as you apply those ideas. If you found the first book useful, you’ll want this one, though you can still get a lot of utility from it even if you haven’t read the original. Lencioni recaps his concepts clearly here, including developing trust among team members and keeping teams focused on their goals. The result is broadly applicable. getAbstract believes that readers who want a basic introduction to improving team function will appreciate this book. That said, those looking for more complex or theoretical approaches, or for tools to deal with specific challenges, such as knowledge management among teams, may need a more advanced manual.

In the process of developing your team, make sure that you address several common misunderstandings and “five dysfunctions”: distrust, conflict, lack of commitment, lack of accountability and a failure to focus on results.

Start with the basics: Is your group a team? It doesn’t have to be. Many groups think they’re teams when they aren’t, and that misconception can frustrate people and waste time. A team must share goals and work toward them together. This requires some mutual performance evaluation. Team members must be willing to subordinate their personal needs to those of the team. True teams are “relatively small”; they might have as many as 12 people or as few as three. To build a strong and healthy team, address these five crucial issues:
