Download The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable Audiobook

" Great book about teamwork. Illustrates a lot of what I've experienced as a team member. This was recommended to me by one of the people interviewed for Secrets of Analytical Leaders, and I'm glad I got a chance to read it on Safari Books Online. Nothing I'd need to keep but it does have a few very good illustrations and parables I hope to use in my work. "

" Easy to read and a great message. Gave me a lot to think about as I develop my own team. "

" Very readable, very quick, very relevant. "

" This information shouldn't be this novel, but, unfortunately, it is. "

" pretty good for a work read "

" This was an easy to read book which conveyed key principles in an easy to remember format. "

" I liked the described model (trust -> conflict around ideas -> commitment -> accountability -> results), but didn't like the artificial story. The managers including the CEO superstar in that story are performing in my opinion bad (that is not the point of the book, but it is distracting). "

" This information shouldn't be this novel, but, unfortunately, it is. "

" Really good book about how people can work together constructively. I want to read his other books. "

My take away from the book: The importance of a foundation of trust on a team. "

" Great book on the fundamentals of what makes a good team. I really liked the way each principal built upon the one before it, and Lencioni's style of teaching through a story was very helpful. Not a dry read at all. Highly recommended for anyone who manages or is a contributor to a team! "

" Super easy read with some great management lessons. "

" I read this for a work book group. I will say that it is one of the more readable business books we've been assigned, but I still can't say I'd recommend it to anybody.

Business books are touchy-feely cheesy self-help books designed for guys. "

" Might really connect with younger team members...very nice.... "

" Great book... easy read. Life changing. "

" Good book on the softer skills in leadership. Engaging with a simple model and some practical ideas. "
