Developing Team Effectiveness: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni

It is critical to remember that every team requires constant work because without it, even the best teams deviate toward dysfunction. High performing teams are the backbones of any company.

As Patrick Lencioni, author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, states “Teamwork is the last untapped resource.” Teams are a powerful tool for achieving business success. Teams can also be dysfunctional, causing the team to fail in the end. Understanding the difficulties of teamwork and learning how to manage the inevitable dysfunction that comes with the team dynamic is a valuable skill.

This webinar will identify the five dysfunctions of a team; Absence of Trust, Fear of Conflict, Lack of Commitment, Avoiding Accountability and Inattention to Results; and the five keys to overcoming dysfunction. Each of the five dysfunctions has its own set of challenges to overcome. While the members of the "team" may have good intentions, working together to achieve a unified goal is not accomplished by simply identifying as a "team," but rather by developing a team.

You will learn how to achieve team consensus. Teams frequently struggle to effectively resolve conflict, and as a result, conflict is swept under the rug or becomes toxic over time. Managers can learn how to overcome dysfunctional team attributes and build a powerful and successful team by identifying dysfunctional team attributes.

Teams are a powerful tool in forging success in business. The ability to dominate or control any market, industry, or level of competition at any time depends on getting everyone in an organization to row in the same direction. The success or failure of an organization can be determined by how teams collaborate, communicate, and resolve conflict. The most important factor in high-performing organizations, after effective leadership, is productive, creative teamwork.
