ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni is a business fable that follows the journey of DecisionTech, a Silicon Valley start-up struggling to achieve its potential. The story unfolds through the eyes of Kathryn Petersen, the newly appointed CEO tasked with revitalizing a dysfunctional executive team.

The book explores the five key dysfunctions that prevent teams from achieving success: absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results. Through a series of off-site retreats, facilitated by Kathryn, the team is forced to confront their individual weaknesses and the detrimental impact of their behavior on the collective. The process is marked by tension, conflict, and even the departure of two executives.
