Dysfunctions
Lencioni lists his five dysfunctions (Lencioni, 195-216): Trust, or lack thereof; Conflict, or too much thereof; Commitment, or lack thereof; Accountability, or lack thereof; Results, or inattention thereto. He does a good job of balling them all together in a novel.
Two things on Dysfunctions: Lencioni talks a lot about working with a team. Nowhere does he talk about how hard it is to create a team from scratch, or to hire individiuals for a new team, or an existing one, for that matter. Yes, start strategyzing with the team you've got. Yes, take the time to hire new folks that truely fit your value system. And yes, finally just like Lencioni, remove foks who are never going to fit in.
He emphasizes off-site meetings as the way to go for strategizing. I get that up to a point. This book was published in 2002 and written in late 2001. Businesses were flush and most hadn't been up-ended yet. Times have changed. You don't have to go to Napa to have a good meeting, and, by extension, your meetings don't have to take days and days. Try on-site for the first meetings on values; try standing for follow-ups. Everyone has work to do. Planning is still paramount; it just doesn't have to take as much time.
