This session will be based on the work and writings of Patrick Lencioni and his best-seller The Five Dysfunctions of a Team.  Patrick illustrates how teamwork remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare. He makes the point that if you could get all the people in an organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time.  Patrick uncovers the natural human tendencies that derail teams and lead to politics and confusion in so many organizations.  Receive specific advice and practical tools for overcoming the dysfunctions and making teams more functional and cohesive.
