Overview: This version of the original book lives up to its name as a “field guide”. First, if you are looking for something to help your team that is more of a task-based, you may want to look elsewhere. This book is inclined towards Management Team. The book uses a fictional example to teach its lesson, meaning you are reading a story and learning the technique at the same time. I found I was not able to put the book down and read the whole thing in one sitting. In the end, I was able to explain the basic principles to others because they stuck with me. I find the story approach is much easier to follow and then retain then if I had tried to read a textbook or “how to”. In Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Lencioni offers more specific, practical guidance for overcoming the Five Dysfunctions—using tools, exercises, assessments, and real-world examples.
