The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
Full-Length Preview
Description
Topics: Teams
Based on the best-selling book by Patrick Lencioni, the video
presentation takes viewers through each of the five dysfunctions and the
theories behind them. Lencioni offers a unique perspective on his model
for teamwork. Using colorful examples from his own career and
consulting experience, he explains the obstacles that prevent teamwork
from taking hold in so many organizations. Then, he gives the team a
roadmap for overcoming dysfunctionality and the tools to become a more
powerful and successful team.
This video program is ideal for teams that want to learn how to become
more cohesive, as well as for individual leaders who are searching for
better ways to eliminate politics in their organizations and improve
team effectiveness.
By following The Five Dysfunctions of a Team model, the team
works through the fundamental levels of dysfunction, and by overcoming
each, the group becomes a true team where their power is in their
team-relationship and productivity.
Part 1 covers the Five Dysfunctions in depth:
- Absence of Trust - The fear of being vulnerable prevents the building of trust within the team.
- Fear of Conflict - The desire to preserve artificial harmony stifles productive conflict.
- Lack
of Commitment - The lack of clarity or buy-in prevents team members
from making decisions
they will stick to. - Avoidance of
Accountability - The need to avoid discomfort prevents team members
from holding
one another accountable for behavior and performance. - Inattention to Results - The pursuit of individual goals and
personal status erodes the focus on
collective success.
The video and supplemental guide are designed for teams to work through together, over multiple weeks, to reinforce the concepts. The sessions will help the team define itself, where they are, what is lacking, and the direction they must take in order to evolve. Exercises and follow-throughs outline next steps for the team.
