About this listen

After her first two weeks observing the problems at DecisionTech, Kathryn Petersen, its new CEO, had more than a few moments when she wondered is she should have taken the job. But Kathryn knew there was little chance she would have turned it down. After all, retirement had made her antsy, and nothing excited her more than a challenge. What she could not have known when she accepted the job, however, was just how dysfunctional her team was, and how team members would challenge her in ways that no one ever had before.

In The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni once again offers a leadership fable that is as enthralling and instructive as his first two bestselling books, The Five Temptations of a CEO and The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive. This time, he turns his keen intellect and storytelling power to the fascinating, complex world of teams.Executive Producer: Karen DiMattia

What is this narrator on? His idea of a British person working in a tech company is like the father in Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins was full of caricatures but this is not a comedy book. This is incredibly annoying which distracts from the important message of this book. If he was representing another nation with such a bizarrely stereotypical accent everyone would shout “racist”. This point is that this is a ridiculous narration that detracts from the content.
