Managers want great teams, but most build them around decades-old ideas and practices made popular by companies that have lost their edge. Extreme Teams looks at the new generation of teams driving growth in today's most innovative firms. They do this by doing things differently: hiring the right person instead of the best person; focusing on one priority while leaving room to explore new ideas; creating an environment where people are comfortable dealing with the uncomfortable.

They don't particularly want their kids to go to fancy schools, acquire riches, or live "the good life". They do want them to have personal integrity and high self-esteem, and to grow up with love and peace in their hearts. Children raised the Wayne Dyer way feel useful and needed. They are inner- rather than outer-directed. They live a stress-free life naturally, without resorting to drugs.

We fill our days with frantic activity, bouncing from task to task, scrambling to make deadlines and chase the next promotion. But by the end of each day we're often left asking ourselves "did the work I do today really matter?" We feel the ticking of the clock, but we're stuck in first gear, unsure of the path forward and without a road map to guide us.

Good Field Guide followup to his earlier book
The content is great, but too detailed for audible format. I recommend this book but in the text format.

Straight Forward and Insightful
Would you listen to Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team again? Why?
I am listening to the book again, in fact second time through. It is an excellent resource and inspires me to keep working on helping my team and I to build trust and overcome the dysfunctions discussed. .
What did you like best about this story?
The tools. Mr. Lencioni takes the time to speak of the dysfunction, leverages examples to showcase how the dysfunction impacts the team, and then what tools a facilitator or leader can use to overcome the dysfunction.
Any additional comments?
If you a leader, a team member or business educator, read this book. One of the very best books I have read.

Missing the exercises
Some books are better purchased as books. I am sad that I don't have the ability to use the exercises that are in the hardcopy.

Awesome blueprint!!!
While a team is not enough for success, having a solid core team is the biggest untapped potential in organizations looking to grow or turn around. This book is a fantastic and practical blueprint. I’m using it every day as a Bible for helping organizations prepare for their next growth spurt.

Practical
The insights are practical and actionable. Loved the part about not prioritizing the team one leads over the team that one is a part of. Had never thought about that as a dilemma.
