Summary of Patrick M. Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Enhanced Edition

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 DecisionTech was a technology start-up that was located in Half Moon Bay, a foggy, coastal farming town just over the hills from the San Francisco Bay. It had the most experienced and expensive executive team imaginable, and more top-tier investors than any young company could hope for.

#2 Kathryn had no experience in high-tech, but she was a great leader, and the board believed she would succeed. The Chairman insisted that there weren’t many capable executives willing to take on such a messy job, but he hired Kathryn anyway.

#3 The Chairman offered Kathryn the job, and she was surprised. She had always thought of him as a social acquaintance, not a professional admirer. She had an amazing ability to build teams, and he thought she could help fix the problems at DecisionTech.

#4 After her first two weeks on the job, Kathryn did almost nothing. She walked the halls, talked to employees, and silently observed as many meetings as she could. She asked Jeff Shanley to continue leading the weekly executive staff meetings, where she just listened and took notes.
