2:20-2:50 The Five Dysfunctions of a Team as a team development framework (relates well with politics, single-loop learners, victims, and Machiavelli)

Lencioni's The Eiae Dysfunctions of a Team is a stage theory, similar to ' Maslow's Hierarchy (Physiological comfor! safety, beloriging f love, esteem needs, self actualization).

To develop teams, leaders must be alert for, confront, and overcome the following dysfunctions.

1,. Absence of trust: (open about weaknesses, mistakes, open to inqyiry, issues of vulnerability). Ice-breakers: Where they grew up, how many kids, most difficult or challenging thing about tlieir childho6aZ

2. Fear of conflict: (achieving intimacy issues, healthy dialogue and respectful debate, vs. artificial harmony or mean-spirited attacks). Personal profile of conflict style and ability to engage in conflict (F vs. T). Group-think (Janus).

3. Lack of commitment (consent on organizational goals and ideals, clarity, buy-in). See page 21.0-21,2

4. Avoidance of accountability (high standards for each other). Team effecfiveness exercise for strengths/ compliments and constructive feedback (double-loop learning).

5. Inattention to results (focus on themselves/individual arybitions and ego/saving face, vs. the goals and the inter- relation between the team members' decisions) . p.218
