Book Reviews of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable

Book Review: Recognise anyone ?
Summary: 5 Stars

Short: Forget about those long management tomes which lose your attention after page 5 and feel like homework. This is a simple short story which Lencioni uses to illustrate his points on team membership leadership, membership and engagement. You will read this in two hours.

Single Story: Like me are you tired of reading all those guru books that read like a collage of name dropping and half pages of useless anecdotes? This book has a story line that will engage and retain you attention without forcing management bs down your retinas on every page. It's readable , the characters plausible and you will want to turn the page.

Makes Sense: Like anything good that has ever been written on management there is a healthy dose of common sense here. Unlike many other books I liked the fact that it does not contain the "How To" as much as it illustrates how to recognise specific issues in Teams and offers ideas on how to deal with them. The model used is simple and progressive and you can't apply it in one minute.

Does it work ? I have no idea but I will definitely use the ideas.

Recognise Anyone? absolutely.

Recommend it to a friend ? Yes and I'll also leave a copy on my bosses desk when I leave!
