Five Dysfunctions of a Team Workshop
Build a Truly Cohesive Leadership Team and See Real, Focused Results

The most significant competitive advantage your team can have is teamwork.
Yet even smart, successful teams often struggle with dysfunction that limits their effectiveness and impact.
As a certified facilitator and organizational health coach, I help mission-driven organizations overcome the five dysfunctions that hold teams back from achieving their full potential.

What are the Five Dysfunctions?
Created by Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team is a powerful model that identifies the primary obstacles preventing teams from working effectively together.
These dysfunctions build upon each other, and addressing these behaviors systematically creates a foundation of trust for extraordinary teamwork.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team are:
→ Absence of Trust: Unwillingness to be vulnerable and genuinely open with one another
→ Fear of Conflict: Avoiding necessary debates and discussions about important issues, favoring artificial harmony
→ Lack of Commitment: Failing to achieve buy-in and clarity around decisions
→ Avoidance of Accountability: Hesitating to call out behaviors that hurt the team
→ Inattention to Results: Focusing on personal or departmental success over collective outcomes
Transform Your Team with a Five Dysfunctions Workshop
The Five Dysfunctions framework is a roadmap to a more effective, focused, aligned, and driven team.
→ Build genuine trust that allows for honest, productive discussions
→ Master healthy conflict that leads to better decisions
→ Achieve real commitment from all team members
→ Create a culture of accountability that drives performance
→ Focus collectively on results that truly matter
→ Improve decision-making through clearer communication
→ Reduce politics and confusion that slow progress
