If you work with teams and team success, this book may be an interesting addition to your library.</p> <p>Lencioni tells the story of a troubled Silicon Valley firm and the new CEO faced with uniting and guiding a team of leaders with the aim of making the company a success. Through this business fable, Lencioni highlights the common dysfunctions that he claims can cripple any team: absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results. He offers ways to assess a team and provides actionable steps on how to overcome each of the 5 dysfunctions.</p> <p>Food for thought:</p> <ul> <li>This book tells the tale of a CEO refashioning the dynamic of an executive committee. Do fables apply to everyone?</li> <li>Is Lencioni right? Does he name the most important dysfunctions that challenge the teams you work with?</li> <li>What can we learn from this representative tale about development teams? Where can we add our own wisdom to Lencioni's model?</li> </ul> <p>We look forward to learning what Agile mindsets bring to the table! Tip: It's worth reading some online book reviews for critical perspectives.</p> <p><strong>Please visit our Meetup link to RSVP:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.meetup.com/AgilePDX-User-Group-Portland-Metro/events/253824910/">https://www.meetup.com/AgilePDX-User-Group-Portland-Metro/events/253824910/</a></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://agilepdx.org/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
