The book [amazon asin=B006960LQW&text=The Five Dysfunctions of a Team] by Patrick Lencioni has been in the coaching community for many years. It’s among the books recommended by the Volleyball Coaching Wizards<\/a>, and on many other similar lists. For good reason. It definitely provides a lot for leaders of teams to think about – and members of teams too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The largest part of the book is actually a story. It’s about a new CEO at a company working to make a better team of her senior managers. That’s where the five dysfunctions are outlined explicitly. The story then demonstrates them and their impact through its narrative. I found that super engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The back end of the book – call it the last 10-15% – shifts back to non-fiction mode. That’s where the author gets prescriptive. He goes through all the dysfunctions, both individually and how they link to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the dysfunctions in the pyramid format layout the book presents them, as interpreted here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

I’m going to address these dysfunctions in separate posts, as they are extremely relevant to our teams, so I won’t do that here. I will, however, strongly recommend that you [amazon asin=B006960LQW&text=read this book]. The dysfunctions are more complex and inter-related than the pyramid might make them appear. It will make you think. That, to me, is the hallmark of a good non-fiction book. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team is a very engaging book that will make you really think about relationships and interactions in your team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":106531,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[91,315,317,318,319,324],"class_list":["post-106530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volleyball-coaching-product-reviews","tag-coaching-book-review","tag-team-building","tag-team-chemistry","tag-team-culture","tag-team-management","tag-teamwork"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106530\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
