The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: Intact Teams Participant Workbook [Paperback]

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.
