He examines questions that all teams must ask themselves: Are we really a team? How are we currently performing? Are we prepared to invest the time and energy required to be a great team?

Written concisely and to the point, this guide gives leaders, line managers, and consultants alike the tools they need to get their teams up and running quickly and effectively.

Great message

Great message, which actually works in practice. But it is not suitable for audio format.

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.

Great Resource for Team Building

This is a sequel to Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. Although Lencioni does not use the fable approach as in the first book, he outlines much more detail of the model and how to create more functional teams. He opens the book with an overview of the model and then proffers two key questions for work groups to ask themselves: 1) Are we really a team? (That is, are we interdependent and hold each other mutually accountable?) and 2) Are we ready for heavy lifting? The implication here is that this model won't work if the group isn't truly a team nor will it be successful unless the group is willing to put in the time and effort it takes to function effectively. The remainder of the book goes into details regarding tools and exercises for each of the dysfunctions. Although it's a bit drier then the fable approach, it's a great resource for anyone looking for ideas about team building.

Really requires print to fully appreciate

While interesting, it referenced too many tables and lists only found in the print version.
