An ASPE Business Book Review

Each month Aspe picks a valuable, substantive business book that they think will benefit the professionals they serve. Some are new; some are classics. Either way, they do the reading.

This month’s book is:   The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable by Patrick Lencioni

This now-famous 2002 book has become an iconic leadership fable, and a foundational text in the world of Agile coaching and project management.

Any professional who is part of a team, leads a team, or relies on teams for results should consider this book required reading.

The five dysfunctions may seem obvious, but when you read Lencioni chances are you’ll realize how much they have cost your own organization.

Join Chris as he discusses how to deal with the five dysfunctions of a team:

  1. Absence of trust
  2. Fear of conflict
  3. Lack of commitment
  4. Avoidance of accountability
  5. Inattention to results

Presenter: Chris Knotts, PMP – (LinkedIn profile) ASPE Creative Director
