Highly effective teams

Just re-read Patrick Lencioni’s “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team – A leadership fable”. It describes the difficult journey of an executive team of becoming a highly effective, well-functioning team.

What does such a highly effective team look like?

1. They trust one another.
2. They engage in unfiltered conflict around ideas.
3. They commit to decisions and plans of action.
4. They hold one another accountable for delivering against those plans.
5. They focus on the achievement of collective results.

That’s the kind of team I like to be a part of and help create!
