  1. “If you could get all the people in an organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time.” Anonymous

  2. The FIVE DYSFUNCTIONS of a TEAM By Patrick Lencioni

  3. FIVE DYSFUNCTIONS OF A TEAM Inattention to Results Avoidance of Accountability Lack of Commitment Fear of Conflict Absence of Trust

  4. “Because they are made up of imperfect human beings, teams are inherently dysfunctional. However, building a team is both possible and remarkably simple. But it is painfully difficult.” Patrick Lencioni “Like so many other aspects of life, teamwork comes down to mastering a set of behaviors that are at once theoretically uncomplicated, but extremely difficult to put into practice day after day.” Patrick Lencioni

  5. 1.The first dysfunction is an ABSENCE OF TRUST among the team members. Essentially this stems from their unwillingness to be vulnerable within the group. Team members who are not genuinely open with one another about their mistakes and weaknesses make it impossible to build a foundation for trust.

  6. 2. This failure to build trust is damaging because it sets the tone for the second dysfunction: FEAR OF CONFLICT. Teams that lack trust are incapable of engaging in unfiltered and passionate debate of ideas. Instead, they resort to veiled discussion and guarded comments. Corporate politics takes over and people choose their words and actions based on how they want others to react rather than based on what they really think.

  7. 3. Lack of healthy conflict is a problem because it ensures the third dysfunction of a team: LACK OF COMMITMENT. Without having aired their opinions in the course of passionate and open debate, team members rarely, if ever, buy in and commit to decisions, though they may feign agreement during the meeting.

  8. 4. Because of lack of real commitment and buy-in, team members develop an AVOIDANCE OF ACCOUNTABILITY, the fourth dysfunction. Without committing to a clear plan of action, even the most focused and driven people often hesitate to call their peers on actions and behaviors that seem counterproductive to the good of the team.

  9. 5. Failure to hold one another accountable creates an environment where the fifth dysfunction can thrive. INATTENTION TO RESULTS occurs when team members put their individual needs (such as ego, career development, or recognition) or even the needs of their division above the collective goals of the team.
