Wrote The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, a business fable about team dynamics, and applied the same methods to families in The Three Big Questions for a Frantic Family.
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team names a sequence - absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, inattention to results - and gives managers a diagnostic order for working through them. The Advantage sets out organisational health as a measurable executive discipline covering clarity, meeting design and internal communication.
