The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable

by Patrick Lencioni

Description

When a newly appointed CEO discovers her executive team is on the brink of collapse, she must confront the hidden dysfunctions that plague even the most talented groups of leaders. Through an engaging narrative fable, Patrick Lencioni reveals the five critical dysfunctions that undermine team performance—from lack of trust and fear of conflict to inattention to results—and provides a practical framework for building cohesion and effectiveness. This compelling story follows Kathryn Petersen's race against time to transform a fractured team before it destroys the company, offering readers both an entertaining page-turner and actionable insights for their own leadership challenges. Lencioni's signature blend of storytelling and business wisdom demonstrates that exceptional team leadership requires both courage and clarity about what truly matters. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand why teams struggle and how to unlock their full potential.
