Accelerating Team Performance Using
“Five Dysfunctions of a Team”
In today’s fast-paced environment, everyone is called upon to work as a team. Assembling a group of people to accomplish a task does not necessarily create team peak performance. Many times that group is unable to accomplish more as a team than what those individuals could accomplish on their own. It takes understanding of team concepts, understanding each other, and creating a commitment to work together that result in achieving synergy and team peak performance.
This customized facilitation process takes a team through a series of exercises using the framework developed by Patrick Lencioni in “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team”. After an initial consultation, we plan several group meetings designed to build trust within the team, engage in productive conflict, increase commitment, and improve accountability. The result targeted is improved team peak performance based on measurable results that are identified by the team.
What Are The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team?
- Absence of Trust: The fear of being vulnerable with team members prevents the building of trust within the team.
- Fear of Conflict: The desire to preserve artificial harmony stifles the occurrence of productive ideological conflict.
- Lack of Commitment: The lack of clarity or buy-in prevents team members from making decisions they will stick to.
- Avoidance of Accountability: The need to avoid interpersonal discomfort prevents team members from holding one another accountable.
- Inattention to Results: The pursuit of individual goals and personal status erodes the focus on collective success.
