The 5
dysfunctions
of a team!
1. Absence of Trust
This occurs when team members are reluctant
to be vulnerable with one another and are unwilling
to admit their mistakes, weaknesses or needs for help. Without a certain comfort level a foundation of trust is impossible.
2.Fear of Conflict
Teams that are lacking on trust are incapable of engaging in unfiltered,
passionate debate about key issues, causing situations where team conflict can
easily turn into veiled discussions and back channel comments.
3. Lack of Commitment
Lack of direction and
commitment can make employees, particularly star employees, disgruntled.
4. Avoidance of Accountability
When teams don’t commit to a clear plan of action, even the most focused and
driven individuals hesitate to call their peers on actions and behaviors that
may seem counterproductive to the overall good of the team.
5. Inattention to Results
Team members naturally tend to put their own needs (ego, career development,
recognition, etc.) ahead of the collective goals of the team when individuals
aren’t held accountable. If a team has lost sight of the need for achievement,
the business ultimately suffers
