Story time over, Lencioni offers explicit instructions for overcoming the human behavioral tendencies that he says corrupt teams (absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability and inattention to results). Succinct yet sympathetic, this guide will be a boon for those struggling with the inherent difficulties of leading a group.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding a cohesive team is not complicated, declares Lencioni, president of his own management consulting firm and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Five Temptations of a CEO\u003c\/i\u003e. 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 story is about a female CEO who is hired to bring together a dysfunctional executive staff to work as a team in a company that just two years earlier had looked promising. The scenarios that follow 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. The five dysfunctions discussed are absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results. At the end of the story, the main points are summarized, and clearly written suggestions and exercises are offered to help, bring about change. Concise and easy to follow, this book is recommended for academic and public libraries with management collections and for anyone who is a member of a team that needs improvement.\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eBellinda Wise, Nassau Community College Library, Garden City, NY \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, April 15, 2002\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"... gripping... highly recommended.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eTalent Engagement Review,\u003c\/i\u003e June 2011\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"... an entertaining quick read filled with information easy to digest....\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe Star Online,\u003c\/i\u003e 12 August 2003\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"... there is a lot of good sense in this book... certainly offers some useful pointers....\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eSupply Management,\u003c\/i\u003e 28 March 2002\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"... is worth exploring....\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eProgress,\u003c\/i\u003e Summer 2002\u003c\/p\u003e \"[...] Das Besondere an diesem Buch sind jedoch nicht die Inhalte, sondern es ist die Art der Vermittlung von Know-How und Praxiswissen.
