Transforming Team Dynamics: Overcoming The Five Dysfunctions
Lois Elrich
Effective teamwork is the cornerstone of any successful organization. However, teams often face challenges that hinder their performance. Patrick Lencioni's insightful model, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team," sheds light on common team pitfalls and offers a pathway to cohesive and effective teamwork. At Real Change, we empower teams to overcome these dysfunctions and foster a culture of collaboration and success.
Identifying the Five Dysfunctions
1. Absence of Trust: The fear of being vulnerable with team members prevents the building of trust, the foundation of any strong team.
2. Fear of Conflict: Teams lacking trust are incapable of engaging in unfiltered, passionate debate about ideas.
3. Lack of Commitment: Without conflict, it is difficult for team members to commit to decisions, creating an environment where ambiguity prevails.
4. Avoidance of Accountability: Without a clear commitment and buy-in, team members are hesitant to call out peers on performance or behaviors that seem counterproductive to the team’s good.
5. Inattention to Results: Without holding one another accountable, team members often put their own needs (ego, career development, recognition) above the collective goals of the team.
