BookNotes: Five Dysfunctions of a Team #1 (Introduction)

In this episode Greg Gillum introduces Patrick Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of a Team using a business fable about a tech company whose talented leaders can’t work together. The core idea: teamwork is a behavior problem, not a talent problem, and it can be fixed.

Greg explains the five-layer pyramid—trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results—and gives practical steps for managers: diagnose the lowest broken layer, coach behaviors, run a quick team self-check, and start the work of modeling healthier team habits. Next episode focuses on the foundation: trust.
