The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable
Like Death By Meeting this book is essentially written in a parable style. The book begins by telling the fable of a woman who, as CEO of a struggling Silicon Valley firm, took control of a dysfunctional executive committee and helped its members become successful as a team. The author offers explicit instructions for overcoming the behavioral tendencies that he notes corrupt teams. (i.e. lack of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, etc)
