The FIVE DYSFUNCTIONS of a TEAM

Do you work in a team and feel that team efforts are wasted, that meetings are boring, and that your team members doesn't really help you at all. Well, you are probably a part of a dysfunctional team.

Patrick Lencioni's leadership fable is not just amusing to read, it also gives great insight into how to deal with team dysfunctions. The fable introduces us to seven team members, most of which you can relate to some of your current team members. But the problem at hand does not really relate to one or more individuals, but how these individuals interact as a team.

The book is easy to read, you easily finish it in a day, and it makes only a few (5 actually), strong points on how to improve you teams productivity.

I read this book, because if was recommended by the Scrum book "The Enterprise and Scrum" by Ken Schwaber, a fine book on Scrum.
