The Five Dysfunctions of Teams by Patrick Lencioni.


According to the book, the five dysfunctions are:


Absence of trust — unwilling to be vulnerable within the group

Fear of conflict — seeking artificial harmony over constructive passionate debate

Lack of commitment — feigning buy-in for group decisions creates ambiguity throughout the organization

Avoidance of accountability — ducking the responsibility to call peers on counterproductive behaviour which sets low standards

Inattention to results — focusing on personal success, status and ego before team success
