Why Teams Turn Toxic and How To Repair Them
Author of the best-selling book, ‘The Five Dysfunctions of a Team’, Patrick Lencioni names the five dysfunctions of a team:
Dysfunction #1 – Absence of trust
Dysfunction #2 – Fear of Conflict
Dysfunction #3 – Lack of Commitment
Dysfunction #4 – Avoidance of accountability
Dysfunction #5 – Inattention to Results
The single most untapped competitive advantage is Teamwork.
But Teamwork is hard to measure; and it’s hard to achieve. It also cannot be bought. To reach it requires courage, persistence and emotional energy, often in an environment where finance, strategy, technology and marketing take precedence.
Yet the power of Teamwork cannot be denied. With the synergy of Teamwork, more can get done in less time with less cost. Teamwork contributes to experiencing fulfillment at work. It provides connection and belonging and is a source of team member engagement.

Trust One Another
When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, they are able to build vulnerability based trust.
Engage in Conflict Around Ideas
When there is trust, team members are able to engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas.
Commit to Decisions
When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they will be more likely to commit to decisions.
Hold One Another Accountable
When everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable.
Focus on Achieving Collective Results
The ultimate goal of building greater trust, conflict, commitment, and accountability is one thing: the achievement of results.
