The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Video

In his book, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team   ," [1] Patrick Lencioni reveals the main obstacles that get in the way of good teamwork.

Let's explore each one – and unearth tips for teams to navigate a clear path.

If people worry about making mistakes, they don't put forward new ideas, and the group suffers. To help your team open up, try asking for help. By being honest about your limitations, you'll show them it's okay to be vulnerable. Better yet, the group will see they can achieve more by supporting each other.
