5 Dysfunctions of a Team Training

Course Overview

Teams exist. The question is: Do they exist as a cohesive, productive team that truly engages with one another and spurs each other to be better? Odds are that doesn’t just happen. Often, we don’t get to create our personal dream team. Usually, we are assigned to a team. Often what we call teams are really just groups. This workshop redefines the word “team”.

Based on Patrick Lencioni’s The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, this course reveals the five fundamentals of high performing teams. This workshop promotes a new way of thinking about each of these five dysfunctions.

The Five Dysfunctions are:

  • Absence of Trust
  • Fear of Conflict
  • Lack of Commitment
  • Avoidance of Accountability
  • Inattention to Results
These fundamentals are presented first as dysfunctions, and throughout the workshop they are transformed into attributes of highly functioning teams. Using powerful exercises, your team will have an in depth understanding of the model and techniques needed to become a truly cohesive and productive team.
