The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

A Leadership Fable

By: Patrick Lencioni, Patrick Lencioni - introduction

Narrated by: Charles Stransky

After her first two weeks observing the problems at DecisionTech, Kathryn Petersen, its new CEO, had more than a few moments when she wondered is she should have taken the job. But Kathryn knew there was little chance she would have turned it down. After all, retirement had made her antsy, and nothing excited her more than a challenge. What she could not have known when she accepted the job, however, was just how dysfunctional her team was, and how team members would challenge her in ways that no one ever had before.

In The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni once again offers a leadership fable that is as enthralling and instructive as his first two bestselling books, The Five Temptations of a CEO and The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive. This time, he turns his keen intellect and storytelling power to the fascinating, complex world of teams.Executive Producer: Karen DiMattia

Entertaining Education

The business fable is entertaining education. A great listen. I wish Patrick Lencioni had many more.

I'm going to recommend this to my superior

I work for a highly dysfunctional organization. I love the company and my job, but if something doesn't change it's just going to completely implode. I don't know if this book cam save it. I don't know if me speaking up at all is even worth it, but I gotta try. This book explains how a leadership team needs to function in order to lead a company towards success. it does it in a very easy to understand manner and wraps it up with action steps. I have no real power or influence at my company so me listening to the book was more to validate my intuitive concerns and arm myself with applicable solutions when I bring up my concerns. I'm never one to just complain about what's wrong without offering resolutions of some sort.

Amazing must read for any leadership role

Favorite characters were Martin and Kathryn I am Martin and want to be Kathryn 🤣such a cool book! Also, is this considered fiction or non fiction? Haha! You know they’re a remarkable author if you have to ask this question!

GOOD RESOURCE TO HAVE

The way he put it in a story format with characters was easy to follow. We got to see it play out.

Great Review

I have read this book and used it for work and personal life multiple times, but about 5 years ago. For work, I needed to review the book and using the Audible copy was an excellent way to refresh my memory during my daily commute. I highly recommend it.
