Greatest Business Book I Ever Read

The ages are filled with great business books. The book stores devote entire sections to “Business”. Most of us have read “Good to Great” “First Break all the Rule” or the books by Jack Welch of GE. But the best business (and life) book that I have ever read is Patrick Lencioni’s, Five Dysfunction of a Team. This is a first in a series written by Lencioni but is the cornerstone of his work. Five Dysfunction of a Team describes in detail the problems that teams have in accomplishing their goals and meeting objectives. Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions allows teams to prosper and become successful. The main building block on accomplishing success is trust.
Few businesses or teams are built upon the concept of TRUST. Without trust you can not resolve conflict and will not be able to become successful. If we could begin every relationship, whether it is in business or in life with TRUST, we would be much more successful.
I highly recommend this book and the series he has written. It is quick read but highly worth the time.
