2. There are millions of
people in the world.
And with millions of
people, come millions
of opinions. Some of
those opinions can
lead to manuals or
books, mass produced
for the public. And
even fewer of these
books become best
sellers.

3. When thinking about
the Human Resources
industry, you can
imagine that there are a
lot of books and
resources available to
help professionals
develop their skills
within the HR industry,
as there have been many
successful HR
professionals behind
successful companies
throughout history.

4. Taking a look on
Amazon, I came across
the top selling HR book
on the site. For any
author to top an
Amazon list is a big
deal, so there was no
hesitation in my mind
that I should read a
snippet and see what
this particular book had
to offer.
The result? Exactly
what I wanted.

5. The book, entitled, “5
Dysfunctions Of A
Team,” was written by
Patrick Lencioni.
Centered around how
teams function, or in this
case, don’t function,
Patrick tries to outline
the breakdown and
destruction of
teamwork. By outlining
where things can
ultimately go wrong,
Patrick also describes
ways to inherently build
your team back up.

6. According to the book,
the 5 dysfunctions of a
team are as follows:
AbsenceofTrust
FearofConflict
LackofCommitment
AvoidanceofAccountability
InattentiontoResults

7. WhyIsThe
BookSo
Effective?
What Patrick does here,
is take the reader on a
plausible journey that
makes the lessons
extremely relatable. The
writing is very clear and
concise, without
overwhelming someone
with the thought of how
their teams can fail. For
any HR professional, it
gives great clues on
what to look for in order
to stop a team from
breaking down before
more signs of trouble
start to show.

8. WhyIsThe
BookSo
Effective?
Another key point of
Patrick’s guide is that
while he points blame to
certain causes, he
doesn’t point blame
towards the individual.
Patrick shows how
turning attention to the
whole group and how
the whole group can
overcome negative
aspects of work can be
incredibly effective.

9. This guide also comes
with a great pyramid
infographic that clearly
identifies where
breakdowns may occur.

10. The key to Patrick’s
findings within his best-
selling HR book simply
come down to him
listening and observing
the behaviors around
him. This is also,
unironically, part of the
base layer of his
exercises for teams.
Having trust in others
around you, and
knowing everyone’s
individual strengths, is
an important aspect of
working in a team.
