Five Dysfunctions of a Team

I just finished reading Ade's copy of "The FIVE Dysfunctions of a Team." It is a nice easy read in which it presents the five dysfunctions of a team funnilly enough.

The five dysfunctions are:

1. Absence of TRUST (Invulnerability)
which leads to
2. Fear of CONFLICT (Artificial Harmony)
which leads to
3. Lack of COMMITMENT (Ambiguity)
which leads to
4. Avoidance of ACCOUNTABILITY (Low standards)
which leads to
5. Inattention to RESULTS (Status and Ego)

It is a nice easy read with some practical tips for overcoming the dysfunctions. It was recommended to Ade by Tim Bacon.
