Patrick Lencioni
Building a cohesive team is not complicated, declares Lencioni. Departing from the dry, theoretical writing of many management books, he presents his case in the context of a fictional organization, and in doing so succeeds at communicating his ideas. The scenarios are recognizable and can be applied anywhere teamwork is involved, whether it is a multinational company, a small department within a larger organization, or a sports team. At the end of the story, the main points are summarized, and clearly expressed suggestions and exercises are offered to help bring about change. Concise and easy to follow, this program is recommended for anyone who is a member of a team that needs improvement.
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team is also available in print from Wiley.

Constantly wondering why your team isn't as effective as it should be? Listen to this book. I did, and it really helped me in how I lead my team (I am VP-Technology for a professional services firm). This is the first audio title, after 3 years of audible.com, that made me want to go out and get the hard copy of the book for my office reference bookshelf.

The way this book is presented makes it a compelling case for improving teamwork. By telling a story about a dysfunctional team, and showing us what a poor team looks like, it made me feel that I was a part of the team working towards a better place.
By illustrating how a dysfunctional team presents itself, and the struggles it endures to get to a better place, by illustrating each of the five dysfunctions; absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results- we can see ourselves reflected in one or more of the characters.
If we learn the lessons through the actions of the team, we can identify with their failings within us, and help to move our team to a better place.
