In The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni highlights five obstacles that hinder team success: absence of trust (lack of vulnerability), fear of conflict (avoiding healthy debates), lack of commitment (unclear decisions), avoidance of accountability (not holding each other responsible), and inattention to results (prioritizing individual goals). Overcoming these fosters stronger, more effective teams.
In The Power of Vulnerability, Brené Brown shows that vulnerability is a source of strength, not weakness. By being open and authentic, we build trust, deepen connections, and foster growth. Embracing vulnerability allows for courage, creativity, and resilience, helping us form meaningful relationships and face challenges with greater confidence.
In The Ideal Team Player, Patrick Lencioni identifies three key virtues that make up an ideal team member: humble, hungry, and smart. Humble team players put the team first, avoiding ego and focusing on collective success. Hungry players are self-motivated and eager to contribute. Smart team members have emotional intelligence, understanding how to interact with others effectively. Together, these qualities help individuals thrive in a collaborative, high-performance environment.
