Book Reviews of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable
Book Review: Insightful and Easy To Digest
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an organizational development consultant and I've used Lencioni's model as the basis for my course in team building in the United States, Italy and South Africa. I find that people all over the world relate to his insights, identify with the dysfunctions described in the book and have some "Ah Ha" moments regarding how to work together better. Book Review: Lost order
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good service from Amazon to replace an order that had been lost between the USA and Belgium.
Much appreciated.

Book Review: Simplifying Silos
Summary: 4 Stars
This book does a fine job of breaking down complex organizational cancers (such as silos and cliques) to reveal both their symptoms and root-causes. In addition to uncovering these issues through story-based lessons, the suggestions at the tail of the book on how to embrace and combat these problems are very helpful. I would recommend this book for new and experienced managers and their team members alike.Book Review: Relevant to the Team Environment
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have problems with your work teams, this is a good read and one I would recommend. It is good to change things up, but I'm just not a fan of "fables." This is part of the reason why I couln't give it five stars - it just makes it difficult when referring back to points you took notes on. Overall one of the better ones. There are a lot of teamwork books out there. Most of them are not worth the money. Maxwell's Law's of Teamwork is a good one and so is The Team Approach: With Teamwork Anything Is Possible. If you're an big basketball fan, you might like The Magic of Teamwork by Pat Williams.
Book Review: Brilliant Insight into leadship teams
Summary: 5 Stars
Patrick has amazing insight into leadership teams and how to make it work. Forgot technology and strategy -- start here and read his books, if you get what Patrick is saying, you can develop a good strategy and technology. If you don't, don't bother with either strategy or technology.
One of his best books (along with Four Obsessions...). I purchased a copy for each of my management team and board.
