Lencioni reveals the five dysfunctions that 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 to build cohesive, effective teams.
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.
At Kipling Partners, we draw from Lencioni’s work and utilise ‘The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™’ as a foundation on which to design and build our team coaching programs.
‘The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™’ www.fivebehaviours.com is the result of the partnership between ‘Wiley Workplace Learning Solutions’ and Patrick Lencioni. Together they have created a team development program with a simple goal: to improve team effectiveness and productivity through the understanding and application of The Five Behaviors™: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results.
Why we like it:
- The framework captures the opinions of all team members and serves as a powerful catalyst for transformational conversations that may have previously been ignored or handled badly.
- The framework provides an opportunity to uniquely measure and monitor the often elusive, intangible elements that drive high performance in teams.
