November Chapter Meeting - The Five Dysfunction of a Team - Book Review in Action


If you don’t recall the author’s name you may recall one of his best sellers, the most current of which is: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. Patrick Lencioni's eight best-selling business books have sold 2.5 million copies around the world with translations in 20 different languages. The books appear on national best seller lists year after year and tackle topics surrounding organizational health, leadership and teams.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team is the flagship book for Lencioni having sold more than one million copies. The author’s groundbreaking theory on teams focuses on collective team behaviors that lead to success.

The objectives of our November 13th session are to:
1) Acquaint you with the five dysfunctions.
2) Identify some of the actions the author recommends for addressing these dysfunctions.
3) Discuss and share with one another some of the actions our participants have used to address these dysfunctions and with what level of success.

The facilitation of this session will be done by two past presidents of ASTD, Barbara Bannon of HRI and Dr. Sandra Goodwin. We look forward to an interesting learning experience.

Lessons Learned Along The Way


Christee Gabour Atwood found her way into the world of training the way of lot of folks in our profession did – the scenic route. She started with a background as a radio and television host, moved into positions as a newspaper editor and magazine columnist, then a Universal Studios tour guide, and even tried a stint as a stand up-comic. She was so good at comedy that she swiftly left that profession and found herself in association management, working as an executive of trade and professional associations. The one common thread in what she calls her “career-induced A.D.D.” was the desire to communicate knowledge.
 
And that’s what led Christee to become a learning professional.
