“Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.”-Patrick Lencioni
Although this classic leadership book was published in 2002, many of the lessons contained still apply. The foundation of a team is Trust. If there is no trust, team itself will encounter issue after issue. That doesn’t mean blindly following the leader or taking treatment from team members that goes beyond productive. In fact, this book talks about the balance among the components of a healthy team. We use many lessons from this book to build highly functioning, productive, and profitable teams for our clients. Once you’ve read it, reach out. We would love to know what you think!
ABSENCE OF TRUST unwilling to be vulnerable within the group
FEAR OF CONFLICT seeking artificial harmony over constructive passionate debate
LACK OF COMMITTMENT feigning buy-in for group decisions creates ambiguity throughout the organization
AVOIDANCE OF ACCOUNTABILITY ducking the responsibility to call peers, superiors on counterproductive behavior which sets low standards
INATTENTION TO RESULTS focusing on personal success, status and ego before team success
