Bøger af Patrick Lencioni

Dette er en fortælling om, hvorfor evnen til at samarbejde er den ultimative konkurrencefordel for en virksomhed.Kathryn Petersen, nytiltrådt CEO i it-virksomheden DecisionTech A/S, er af sin bestyrelsesformand blevet sat på en umulig opgave: at vende den lurende nedtur i det stærkt udfordrede firma. Hun bliver hurtigt klar over, at DecisionTechs problemer ikke bunder i økonomi, strategi eller teknologi, men i en dysfunktionel ledergruppe, og hendes opgave bliver nu at træde i karakter som leder og få gruppens vidt forskellige medlemmer til at arbejde sammen som et team.I løbet af fortællingen afdækker Lencioni de fem mest almindelige samarbejdsdefekter:• Fravær af tillid• Konfliktskyhed• Manglende commitment• At undgå at holde hinanden ansvarlige• Uopmærksomhed på resultaterVed at introducere en enkel og letforståelig model viser Lencioni, hvordan man kan overvinde disse fem dysfunktioner og skabe det perfekte team, der er i stand til at arbejde sammen, bede hinanden om hjælp, trække på hinandens kompetencer, omfavne fejl og begrænsninger, træffe kvalificerede beslutninger og ganske enkelt udrette mere på kortere tid.

Lencioni beskæftiger sig i denne bog med den ideelle teamplayer og vedkommendes egenskaber.Lencioni fortæller historien om Jeff Shanley, der desperat forsøger at redde sin onkels virksomhed ved at genskabe den team-ånd, der tidligere fik virksomheden til at blomstre. Jeff identificerer, hvad en god teamplayer gør, og han skal nu ansætte og udvikle medarbejderne ud fra de værdier.Efter historien om Jeff præsenterer Lencioni en praktisk model til at identificere, ansætte og udvikle de rigtige personer på holdet. En teamplayer er ydmyg, sulten og smart. Ydmyg fordi det modsatte, selvcentreret, egoistisk osv., ødelægger holdet. Sulten fordi sultne mennesker sjældent skal drives frem af en leder, de tager bolden og skaber god energi på holdet. Smart fordi smarte mennesker samarbejder, inddrage og lytter, de ved, at det er holdet, der leverer, ikke individet.

A commemorative edition of the landmark book from Patrick Lencioni When it was published ten years ago, The Five Temptations of a CEO was like no other business book that came before. Highly sought-after management consultant Patrick Lencioni deftly told the tale of a young CEO who, facing his first annual board review, knows he is failing, but doesn't know why. Refreshingly original and utterly compelling, this razor-sharp novelette plus self-assessment (written to be read in one sitting) serves as a timeless and potent reminder that success as a leader can come down to practicing a few simple behaviors behaviors that are painfully difficult for each of us to master. Any executive can learn how to recognize the mistakes that leaders can make and how to avoid them. The lessons of The Five Temptations of a CEO, are as relevant today as ever, and this special anniversary edition celebrates ten years of inspiration and enlightenment with a brand new introduction and reflections from Lencioni on the new challenges in business and leadership that have occurred in the past ten years.

Beyond the personal discovery and instant relief that Working Genius provides, the model also gives teams a remarkably simple and practical framework for tapping into one another's natural gifts, which increases productivity and reduces unnecessary judgment. In classic Lencioni fashion, Pat brings his model to life in a page-turning fable that is as relatable as it is compelling. He tells the story of Bull Brooks, an entrepreneur, husband, and father who sets out to solve his own frustration at work and stumbles into a new way of thinking that changes the way he sees his work, his team, and even his marriage. What sets this book apart from other tools and assessments is the speed at which it can be understood and applied, and the relevance it has to every kind of work in life, from running a company to launching a product to managing a family. In addition to this book, Lencioni and the Table Group have created a 10-minute assessment that helps individuals quickly identify their gifts and apply this model to themselves and their teams. Join the hundreds of thousands of people who have already discovered their Working Genius, and experience the transformation in your work, your team, and your life.
