" 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. "

" This book was AWESOME! It is a really quick read (It took me about 4-5 hours). Everyone who is a leader should read it. The concepts behind the book can be applied to teams outside of the corporate world as well. I definately recommend it! "

" I liked the fable format of this book. It was an interesting way to present the concept of the 5 dysfunctions. While they are presented in a corporate framework, I think they are applicable to any type of team building. "

" I had to read this book for work and was not looking forward to it. I was pleasantly surprised, though. I liked that the information was delivered in a story format. While Lencioni does not have a future as a novelist, the story was a quick and easy read that kept me engaged. "

" A good quick read for business books. The author writes up the first part of the book as a story so it makes the concepts less dry. The 2nd half of the book has helpful hints on how to build trust and provides tools/methods to improve team communication. "

" 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). "

" NOthing earth shattering but a great story of Kathryn who comes in to chage the parameters of what a team thinks of good and right.
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!

" 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.
