In theory, teamwork is simple. Most of us already know what it requires. But in practice, teamwork is dif?cult. Building a team is a process, one that requires remarkable levels of discipline, courage, and persistence.

Based on the best-selling leadership fable The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, this easy-to-use workbook provides leaders with an opportunity to explore and overcome the pitfalls that side-track teams. Beginning with a 38-item team assessment, the workbook guides leaders through the five steps of developing acohesive and productive team:

  • Building Trust

  • Mastering Conflict

  • Achieving Commitment

  • Embracing Accountability

  • Focusing on Results

Ideal for off-sites and retreats or even a series of development meetings, this workbook is an excellent team development tool.
