The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable’ by Patrick M. Lencioni
What holds teams back, and what helps them thrive?
At April’s ACEL WA Book Club, we’re diving into The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni, a powerful leadership fable that unpacks the foundations of high-performing teams: trust, healthy conflict, commitment, accountability, and results.
In education, our impact is only as strong as the teams we build. This read offers a practical lens for leaders to reflect on how we work together, challenge each other, and stay focused on what matters most: improving outcomes for every student.
Join us as we explore how stronger teams lead to stronger schools.
