Synopsis

Based on my work with executive teams over the past ten years, I've come to the conclusion that teamwork remains the single most untapped competitive advantage for any organization.  Whether you work in a corporation, a non-profit, or a small, entrepreneurial venture, finding a way to minimize politics and confusion within your organization can lead to extraordinary improvement in morale, productivity, and results. -Patrick Lencioni

Based on the best-selling leadership fable The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, the new edition of this easy-to-use workbook provides participants with an opportunity to explore the pitfalls that are side-tracking their team. Beginning with a 38-item team assessment, the workbook guides participants through The Five Dysfunctions of a Team:

• Absence of Trust
• Fear of Conflict
• Lack of Commitment
• Avoidance of Accountability
• Inattention to Results 

Ideal for team off-sites and retreats or even a series of team development meetings, this workbook is an excellent team development tool.  It will allow teams of all types to begin the process of increasing cohesiveness and productivity.
