Each and every team has some sort of dysfunction. That is sometimes what helps you function. This book is a great read because it allows leaders to identify the problems of their team, and capitalize on it.
The author states that "successful teamwork is not about mastering subtle,
sophisticated theories, but rather about combining common sense with uncommon
levels of discipline and persistence. Ironically, teams succeed because they
are exceedingly human. By acknowledging the imperfections of their humanity,
members of functional teams overcome the natural tendencies that make teamwork
so elusive".
As the title suggests, Lencioni outlines the five dysfunctions of a team. This includes absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability and inattention to results. This book is powerful for administrators because it includes exercises and quizzes to help you and your staff identify the dysfunctions of your school or workplace.
