In this episode of the Definitely, Maybe Agile podcast, Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock discuss the book "Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni. They talk about how the book provides a natural description of the challenges faced by teams and emphasize that the book focuses on the team's dysfunction at the top of the organization and how it affects the entire business.
This week's takeaways:
- The value of taking time out as a leadership team. Stepping away from the daily grind can help leadership teams address dysfunctions.
- The benefit of investing in teams. When teams are allowed to work together, they surpass expectations and progress faster.
- The importance of fostering an environment for collaboration. Investing in teams and enabling effective collaboration leads to greater value creation and faster progress.
