I’ve managed to find the time to knock off at least one of the books on my GSB s528 reading list and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in improving team dynamics.

Patrick Lencioni’s, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, is an excellent book on overcoming the problems that bring teamwork screeching to a halt. The book is written in an incredibly addicting style (a fable followed by a very short technical overview). I noticed, however, that once I had finished the fable, the principles of the book were so well explained, that the technical portion was almost unnecessary! The book can easily be read in a few short hours and is interesting enough to be a pleasure even on a second or third read!

Lencioni has also written a number of other books, all of which I am now quite interested in reading.
