The New York Times best-selling team leadership handbook for modern executives, managers, and organizations

After her first two weeks observing the problems at DecisionTech, Kathryn Petersen, its new CEO, had more than a few moments when she wondered if she should have taken the job. But Kathryn knew there was little chance she would have turned it down. After all, retirement had made her antsy, and nothing excited her more than a challenge. What she could not have known when she accepted the job, however, was just how dysfunctional her team was, and how team members would challenge her in ways that no one ever had before.

For twenty years, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team has been engaging audiences with a page-turning, realistic fable that follows the travails of Kathryn Petersen, DecisionTech’s CEO, as she faces the ultimate leadership crisis. She must unite a team in such disarray that it threatens to derail the entire company.

Equal parts leadership fable and business handbook, this definitive source on teamwork by Patrick Lencioni reveals the five behavioral tendencies that go to the heart of why even the best teams struggle. He offers a powerful model and step-by-step guide for overcoming those dysfunctions and getting every one rowing in the same direction.

Today, the lessons in The Five Dysfunctions of a Team are more relevant than ever. This special anniversary edition celebrates one of the best-selling business books of all time with a new foreword from the author that reflects on its legacy and lessons.

Very good read

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 25 October 2022

Verified Purchase

According to the book, the five dysfunctions are: Absence of trust—unwilling to be vulnerable within the group. Fear of conflict—seeking artificial harmony over constructive passionate debate. Lack of commitment—feigning buy-in for group decisions creates ambiguity throughout the organization. Avoidance of accountability—ducking the responsibility to call peers, superiors on counterproductive behavior which sets low standards. Inattention to results—focusing on personal success, status and ego before team success

Written as a storyline, this book illustrates a very simple but difficult to implement idea. The content will help any leader to succeed in building a highly functional, cohesive, efficient team. I recommend this book to anyone who manages a team, large or small.

The book takes a different approach. It goes through all the major dysfunctions using a story. This made it engaging and quite easy to grasp.

New Team to Manage? Try This

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 23 December 2019

Verified Purchase

Rather than a factual story, like many business books, Patrick writes his books as novels. Similar to “The Goal” by Eliyahu M. Goldratt. In this book, Kathryn is parachuted into a highly dysfunctional team and we work with her to bring the team from one that is working against each other, to a high performance team. We work through the five dysfunctions; Absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and attention to results.

It;’s easy to read and I’m sure you will recognise many of the characters and dysfunctions, in fact you have probably worked with many of them.

Thought provoking and easy read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 14 May 2021

This book is a leadership novel rather than a hard jargon overloaded leadership book.

I brought 14 to accompany our leadership programmes and it was met with resounding approval!

Here’s their feedback....

What have I not learnt from this book is a better question!

Good, easy to read and very thought provoking.

More interesting than any other leadership book I’ve read!

Really good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 24 May 2016

Verified Purchase

Fantastic book. Its different in that it reads like a fiction story but just in a business sense. You will learn the journey of a newly appointed CEO that makes changes and how these are discussed and brought up.
It doesng to into unnecessary detail which kept me really engaged from start to finish.

It just makes sense as well. And I can really identify all of this with my work situation. As an HR Manager I found this really useful in approaching a pretty similar situation and articulating what I have identified in a really straightforward and clear way. Thank you Patick Lencioni!

An Essential Read for Progressive Managers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 March 2010

Verified Purchase

This book was recommended to me by one of the delegates at a recent training. It sounded great and Stephen (the delegate in question) was so enthusiastic about how it helped him understand his team and work more effectively that I just had to pick up a copy and read it. I am glad I did. Patrick Lencioni adopts a "commentary" style and follows Katheryn, a 57 year old executive who is a surprise appointee as a new CEO with responsibility of turning the fortunes of DecisionTech, a technology company, around. It focuses on the stakeholders in the management team and how the dynamics work between each of the players. Flicking back through it it seems a bit cold and shallow but while reading it I was totally caught up in the story and wanted to know how each of the players would react to the unfolding events. You will recognise characters, the situations, the meetings and companies you have worked in. It will remind you of times that you have taken unhelpful positions and it is the style that does that to you. The learning outcome is a useful pyramid model that can assist any manager in bringing a team together. All in all, an engaging book that provides insight and learning that makes it an essential read for progressive managers who believe they really can change things. Is that you?

Although warmly recommended by many sources

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 14 December 2017

Verified Purchase

Although warmly recommended by many sources, I was not deeply influenced by this book. I do feel that there is something innovative in the presentation as it follows rather the structure of a novel that a typical non-fiction book but to me the story was not very convincing.
