Reference #509: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Organisations fail to achieve teamwork because they fall into five natural pitfalls. Lencioni calls these the five dysfunctions of a team. Each dysfunction builds upon the former. They are as follows:

  1. Absence of trust
  2. Fear of conflict
  3. Lack of commitment
  4. Avoidance of accountability
  5. Inattention to results
