The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable

Let's be blunt: business books are all trash because capitalism is trash.

However, sometimes you just gotta read some interpersonal guides that shed light on the minds of the people who don't understand that the whole thing is toxic.

This book was slightly better written than average for the genre.

There are some really good stories, examples, and ‘case studies' in this book that serve as blueprint for dealing with a fractured team that will have objections, doubt, and pushback relevant to team building. It does a really good job articulating what Leaders face but struggle to hone in on or a desired culture they struggle to cascade. It is just as clever as the other fables written by this author, using characters as a way to make the (sometimes) abstract point. This serves as a great cliff notes version or roadmap on how to rebuild, or first build, a proper harmonized team.
