FINAL NOTES (quoted from 12min) [I disagree with this] "One of the most influential business fables ever written, 'The Five Dysfunctions of a Team' is a succinct, simple, and smart book on teamwork and organizational culture that clearly communicates important lessons via an engaging story.
"Highly recommended for managers and leaders everywhere."
