One of the best business books I have read recently is Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni of The Table Group. In an easy-to-read format he diagnoses symptoms of teams in trouble:
1. Absence of Trust
2. Fear of Conflict
3. Lack of Commitment
4. Avoidance of Accountability
5. Inattention to Results
My guess is the flaws of malfuntioning teams may hit home for many businesses and law firms. This book is definitely worth the read.
