Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Friends
I wish to share with you some of the key contents of a wonderful book "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni, which I recently finished. The book cautions about the major causes of a business failure and also suggests how to handle such reasons. As per Book, a team which is soul of a business can be disastrous due to five major reasons namely; Absence of Trust, In attention to Results, Fear of Conflict, Lack of Commitment and Avoidance of Accountability. It also highlights the repercussions of these dysfunctions namely; Invulnerability, Artificial Harmony, Ambiguity, Status and Ego and Low Standards. The book is about a company which was on top in its segment and slipped into red in just two years and how the new CEO revived the company. She had to pass through a very painful process but finally she managed to bring back the company to the earlier level. Really a wonderful book and worth reading.
Today is Sunday but for some social meeting had been to office and tried to write this small write up about the Book. Tomorrow would be in Delhi.
