Five Dysfunctions of a Team (Pt. 1)

Patrick Lencioni’s pyramid of the Five Dysfunctions of a Team is quite known in the Soft Skills world and it’s like that because of its simplicity. The model provides a solution to a problem most leaders face at some point – how to make dysfunctional teams work better together.

First, we will just introduce you to Patrick Lencioni’s idea for the five dysfunctions of a team:

Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions:

  1. Trust: team members demonstrate a vulnerability.
  2. Conflict: people trust each other and feel safe to openly express their opinions.
  3. Commitment: team members commit to decisions, even if they have not agreed with them initially.
  4. Accountability: people hold each other accountable regarding following the team’s decisions and high standards.
  5. Results: people focus only on what is best for the team, leaving aside their own personal needs.
