Teamwork - Do you know the 5 dysfunctions of a team?

1. Absence of trust - If the members of the team do not trust each other then they cannot be totally honest with each other.
2. Fear of conflict - Without trust people will not have the healthy debates that are necessary to arrive at better thought through decisions.
3. Lack of commitment - If the team have not aligned behind a decision then the individual members who did not agree with the final decision will ultimately be less committed to that decision.
4. Avoidance of accountability - If they are not committed to the course of action, then they are less likely to feel accountable (or hold other people accountable).
5. Inattention to results - Consequently, they are less likely to care about the group results (and instead focus on achieving their own goals).

These are from the excellent book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni.
