In this Field Guide, Lencioni offers more specific, practical guidance for overcoming the dysfunctions, using assessments, tools, real-world examples, and more. It presents questions that all teams must ask themselves: Are we really a team? Are we ready for heavy lifting? How are we currently performing? It then provides detailed methods for breaking down each of the dysfunctions and addresses frequently asked questions about teams. Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team can be used as the basis for a team training program, or it can be read and its ideas easily implemented by team leaders and members--whether in business, nonprofit, academic, government, church, or any other organization. Its short format helps teams get up and running quickly and effectively. Learn More
