In his book Patrick Lencioni talks about the 5 frustrations of teams based on a case study of an organization, in which the following items work restrictively in achieving the desired result: lack of trust, ignoring (unilateral) conflicts, the lack of involvement and the avoidance of responsibility and too little attention to results. This frustrates team members and executives. The book gives a clear view of every frustration, what is visible in behavior and how an intervention can look like. And it gives a useful questionnaire in part 2 to do a baseline measurement on a team.

The only comment that can be made is that Lencioni focuses too much on frustrations and limitations and therefore sometimes comes across negatively . As a result, there is focus on punishing, while teams sometimes simply do not know how to shape their team. Perhaps from thinking in opportunities and possibilities the title could be "the 5 success factors of teamwork." A recommendation to gain insight into a number of aspects of functional teamwork.
