I bought this book in an effort to learn more about my least favorite NBA franchise–the Los Angeles Lakers. Unfortunately, the five dysfunctions of the title are not the starting five for the NBA runner-ups. Instead, it’s some kind of business leadership book and pretty good, actually. I replaced the cover with a picture of a smiling Kobe Bryant and placed it prominently on my bookshelf next to my favorite James Carlos Blake novel. Another fine mistake.

If you have problems with your work teams, this is a good read and one I would recommend. It is good to change things up, but I’m just not a fan of “fables.” This is part of the reason why I couln’t give it five stars – it just makes it difficult when referring back to points you took notes on. Overall one of the better ones. There are a lot of teamwork books out there. Most of them are not worth the money. Maxwell’s Law’s of Teamwork is a good one and so is The Team Approach: With Teamwork Anything Is Possible. If you’re an big basketball fan, you might like The Magic of Teamwork by Pat Williams.

This book was excellent in both content and approach. I am so tired of all the politcally correct rhetoric surrounding “team building” that it was refreshing to read something that approached the topic from a useful, actionable perspective. In my book Leadership Matters…The CEO Survival Manual: WHAT IT TAKES TO REACH THE C-SUITE AND STAY THERE I also spend time addressing the importance of team building when it is something more than just a buzz word…

It’s easy to say that there are 5 dysfunctions of a team in a business conetext, especially when you make up that business context. I wish I could take the time back I wasted readingthis book. This book is a COMPLETE waste of time!!! DON’T BUY IT!!!!!!!! The book follows a fictitious CEO, and her wildly unbelievable executive board through an equally unbelievable sequence of made up events. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS BOOK IS THAT THERE ARE NO REAL PEOPLE AND NO REAL MONEY INVOLVED.

A fable is a make-believe story and this author insults the intelligence of the reader by pretending to present an adult story about adult lives. The narrative destroyed the message of what could have been true guidance.
