Five Dysfunctions of a Team

11/11/2024

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟓 𝐃𝐲𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 – Which One is Killing your Performance?

I have been lucky enough to see Patrick Lencioni twice now. His ‘Five Dysfunctions of a Team’ framework remains unmatched in its ability to diagnose team challenges. Even after years of consulting, I still find myself sketching out Lencioni’s pyramid in client meetings. Why? Because it just works.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟱 𝗗𝘆𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
1️⃣ Absence of Trust
2️⃣ Fear of Conflict
3️⃣ Lack of Commitment
4️⃣ Avoidance of Accountability
5️⃣ Inattention to Results

What fascinates me is how often modern workplace challenges can be traced back to one (or more) of these fundamental issues. It’s like having an X-ray machine for team dynamics! 🔍

Here’s what makes this framework timeless: it’s not about complex solutions or fancy strategies. It’s about addressing the basic human elements that make or break team success. 🎯

Quick self-check: Which of these dysfunctions resonates most with your team’s current challenges?
