false 21343 13 Once again using an astutely written fictional tale to unambiguously but painlessly deliver some hard truths about critical business procedures, Patrick Lencioni targets group behavior in the final entry of his trilogy of corporate fables. And like those preceding it, <I>The Five Dysfunctions of a Team</I> is an entertaining, quick read filled with useful information that will prove easy to digest and implement. This time, Lencioni weaves his lessons around the story of a troubled Silicon Valley firm and its unexpected choice for a new CEO: an old-school manager who had retired from a traditional manufacturing company two years earlier at age 55. Showing exactly how existing personnel failed to function as a unit, and precisely how the new boss worked to reestablish that essential conduct, the book's first part colorfully illustrates the ways that teamwork can elude even the most dedicated individuals--and be restored by an insightful leader. A second part offers details on Lencioni's "five dysfunctions" (absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results), along with a questionnaire for readers to use in evaluating their own teams and specifics to help them understand and overcome these common shortcomings. Like the author's previous books, <I>The Five Temptations of a CEO</I> and <I>Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive</I>, this is highly recommended. <I>--Howard Rothman</I> 22516 19 3 2002 The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable total:1153|5:317|4:473|3:276|2:64|1:23| 1153 4456 1572 261 21343 0787960756 9780787960759 1126 254 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167321620m/21343.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21343.The_Five_Dysfunctions_of_a_Team_A_Leadership_Fable 0 1 false Sun Jan 25 12:49:31 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 12:52:00 -0800 2009 21343 0787960756 9780787960759 1126 254 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167321620m/21343.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21343.The_Five_Dysfunctions_of_a_Team_A_Leadership_Fable 2 0 false Sat Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 09 17:50:22 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 18:06:18 -0700 2009
