| The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable |
 |
by Patrick M. Lencioni
Throughout the story, Lencioni reveals the five dysfunctions which go to the very heart of why teams - even the best ones - often struggle. He outlines a powerful model and actionable steps that can be used to overcome these common hurdles and build a cohesive, effective team. Just as with his other books, Lencioni has written a compelling fable with a powerful yet deceptively simple message for all those who strive to be exceptional team leaders.
