This was an interesting and easy read.The author presented the first part of his lesson by way of a fictional story of an executive team deemed dysfunctional, and forced into transition through the efforts of their new CEO. The reader becomes a "fly on the wall" in their off site and office team meetings to witness the processes of introducing the changes and their emotional impacts on the team members. I thought that this was well thought out and a very successful means to present the lesson.The next part of the book is "The Model".Then an "Overview of the Model" & "Team Assessment".And finally "Understanding and Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions".I found the Team Assessment section and the lessons on Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions the most interesting and informative.Here are the Five Dysfunctions:Absence of TrustFear of ConflictLack of CommitmentAvoidance of AccountabilityInattention to Results
