Publisher's Summary
Building a cohesive team is not complicated, declares Lencioni. Departing from the dry, theoretical writing of many management books, he presents his case in the context of a fictional organization, and in doing so succeeds at communicating his ideas. The scenarios are recognizable and can be applied anywhere teamwork is involved, whether it is a multinational company, a small department within a larger organization, or a sports team. At the end of the story, the main points are summarized, and clearly expressed suggestions and exercises are offered to help bring about change. Concise and easy to follow, this program is recommended for anyone who is a member of a team that needs improvement.
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team is also available in print from Wiley.

Critic Reviews
"A gripping analysis of what makes teams work effectively. This fine work is a must-read for any leader that has come to grips with the fact that no one makes progress - much less succeeds - alone." (James Amos, president and CEO, Mail Boxes Etc.)

The very best in its class
When it comes to organizational and team health advice; accept no substitute. Lencioni is practical and gracious and the book is easy to read.

Easy Listening
Having the book written in the way of a story helped to see the principles put into practice straight away and keeps you wanting to know more. This style kept me more engaged than others.

Great story-telling, wish it was longer!
The narration of the story was very easy to listen to, well paced and articulate. The story was solid too, though I wish that there was more in-depth information of how the dysfunctions are exhibited in the team and then resolved - it seemed to go too well, too fast, but the point came across. I followed up with further reading to consolidate. Recommend this book for leaders who need to remind/refresh the culture and behaviours they are looking to build in their team.

Enjoyable and Practical
The narrative through which leadership principles were explained was both enjoyable and practical in its approach. Easy to see how teams can fail and thrive. A great read.
