Earlier this week I read The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni. A typical business book that structures a story around some very basic common sense themes. That said, it was short, easy to read and as rarely happens with these things, it didn't bloviate much.
This made it easy to digest and left me feeling energized and reminded of what the best parts of the best teams can be. It made me a bit nostalgic too, for a PR agency job I'd had for several years in the late 90s/early 2000s where I had the privilege to work with the most functional team of my almost three decades of professional life.
The thing I liked best about the book is that it's easy to see not only how this applies to the professional world, but to the personal one as well. The five dysfunctions are the same dysfunctions that cause relationships to fail and families to pull apart.
