5 Dysfunctions of a Team The FIVE Dysfunctions of a TEAM, Patrick Lenciouni
Absence of Trust • Unwilling to be vulnerable within a group, not open about mistakes and weaknesses • Don’t believe in team members good intentions • Act with self preservation in mind • Refrain from asking for help or input • Not an overnight transformation
Fear of Conflict • No Trust – No Debate – No Resolution • Sugar coated discussions leading to missing the critical topics • View of passionate conversation is considered unproductive & takes a negative, harmful tone • Discussions take place outside
Lack of Commitment • No buy in or commitment to decisions • Healthy disagreement leads to understanding of THE commitment • Sluggish movement in team direction • Makes same mistakes • Breeds fear of failure and lack of confidence
Avoidance of Accountability • No commitment – No accountability to bad behavior (all for the team) • Avoid difficult conversations even with close personal relationships • Places the sole source of accountability on the team leader • Missing deadlines • Encourages mediocrity
Inattention to Results • No accountability – Only individual needs above team goals • No attention to the collective goals of the group • Turn over within the organization • Easily distracted, rewarding individual careers and goals
The 3rd Alternative • The 3rd alternative isn’t my way, it isn’t your way – it is OUR way. It is not a compromise halfway between your way and my way; it’s better than a compromise. The 3rd alternative is a better alternative than any that have been proposed. It is a product of sheer creative effort.
