A Leadership FableBy Patrick Lencioni
A Team is a group of people with diverse skills whose members struggle for shared
aspirations (a common goal) with measurable performance and joint
accountability.
Team Development
The concept of “Teamwork” is a fairly simple one (as is the 5-D model)
It’s the execution that is so difficult because it takes high levels of discipline and persistence
We unknowingly slip into these five natural, but dangerous, pitfalls
Contributing factors that impact team development
Change
Individual contributors
History/culture
Contributing factors that impact team development

Absence of Trust
Fear of Conflict
Avoidance of Accountability
Lack of Commitment
InattentionTo Results
Absence of Trust
Absence of Trust among team members
Unwillingness to be vulnerable within the group
Not sharing ideas, mistakes, weaknesses or even best practices
Group members operate very guarded
Absence of Trust
Fear of Conflict
Fear of Conflict among team members
Teams that lack trust are incapable of engaging in unfiltered and passionate debate
Guarded comments
Silent lies/pocket vetoes
No one takes the risk to disagree inside the meeting
Stages of Team Development
Lack of Commitment
Lack of Commitment among team members
Without airing opinions in the course of debate, team members rarely buy in and commit to decision
At the end of the day we don’t have to agree with the decisions…
Group members leave uncommittedand unmotivated
Avoidance of Accountability
Avoidance of Accountability among team members
What’s the beauty of not buying into a plan?
No one is held accountable
Without committing to a clear plan, team members do not call each other on counterproductive stuff
InattentionTo Results
Inattention to Results
Failure to hold one another accountable allows us to operate in silos
Team members put their own individual needs (ego, personal feelings, career development or survival) above the collective goals of the team
We operate independent of one another
