So tomorrow has come a bit later than I thought (thanks Sarah). Here's the low down on this amazing book:
The majority of the book is written it what it calls a "fable". The story illustrates the principles in the book and puts faces on people. The result is walking away from it saying "Oh I'm definitely him and that's you!" It makes it more... feelable for the team to identify the dysfunctions and the parts that they each play in proliferating them.
The dysfunctions are:
Studying this book has begun a process in our team. We are now heading for a tighter team - better leadership - less gaps in responsibility - and ultimately better communication. Anyone on any team should read this book. It's an easy read - even for me. But be warned fellow A.D.D.ers - the first chunk of the book is interesting and motivating. However the last 2 chapters or so, where the story ends and the author (check out his website) goes into detail and exercises, will take you as long as the first 20.
