It is GRADUATION Season and tomorrow I graduate!

                    Well not really.

 

Tuesday is my final class of Coaching Work Teams. This additional coaching class I am taking through Professional Christian Coaching Institute. How PCCI describes this class:

Most organizations – whether business, ministry, educational or political – do the majority of their work through teams, and most teams struggle with common tendencies which dramatically affect their bottom-line. Coaches are increasingly helping teams strengthen their leadership and increase productivity.

This class is based on two texts: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Harvard Business Reviews: 10 Must Reads on Leadership. More info about books in right hand column. →

I have read and used The Five Dysfunctions in coaching some teams. You ask what are the Five?

Dysfunction #1: Absence of Trust
The fear of being vulnerable with team members prevents the building of trust within the team.

Dysfunction #2: Fear of Conflict
The desire to preserve artificial harmony stifles the occurrence of productive ideological conflict.

Dysfunction #3: Lack of Commitment
The lack of clarity or buy-in prevents team members from making decisions they will stick to.

Dysfunction #4: Avoidance of Accountability
The need to avoid interpersonal discomfort prevents team members from holding one another accountable.

Dysfunction #5: Inattention to Results
The pursuit of individual goals and personal status erodes the focus on collective success.
