Summary
In his classic book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni laid out a groundbreaking approach for tackling the perilous group behaviors that destroy teamwork. Here he turns his focus to the individual, revealing the three indispensable virtues of an ideal team player.
In The Ideal Team Player, Lencioni tells the story of Jeff Shanley, a leader desperate to save his uncle's company by restoring its cultural commitment to teamwork. Jeff must crack the code on the virtues that real team players possess and then build a culture of hiring and development around those virtues. Beyond the fable, Lencioni presents a practical framework and actionable tools for identifying, hiring, and developing ideal team players.
Whether you're a leader trying to create a culture around teamwork, a staffing professional looking to hire real team players, or a team player wanting to improve yourself, this book will prove to be as useful as it is compelling.

Clear and useful
As usual with Lencioni's books, this is a clear and useful illustration of the concept, with suggestions for implementation. It's great to have some clear guidelines like this to help cut through the complexity of running a successful business.

Exactly what you need
If you are one of the leaders in a company, you will definitely find this book useful. It's a step by step guide to making your organisation work like a well oiled machine. And if other leaders around you don't agree to this model...perhaps you're the one working in the wrong organisation : )

Decent, more of the same
If you're familiar with Lencioni's fable approach, more of the same here. Personally it's an approach I find really accessible and enjoyable and whilst not his best, there's plenty of learnings in here for current and aspiring managers/ leaders.
Definitely worth a listen.

it's o k a y
A reasonable follow-up to the 5 Dysfunctions, and the three core tenets of what makes a decent team player are good and useful enough (essentially humility, drive, and EI) to be applied - but there's an unnecessary religious element that pops up throughout, and the end "application" section relies on personality reports that I'm not convinced Lencioni is qualified or able to adequately connect, or dissect. But hey ho, it's an interesting listen up to a point, and I'm sure the three core values will be useful indicators in hiring decisions and employee review.

Good Follow On
Follows up nicely in my opinion to the 'Five Dysfunctions Of A Team' book. Turning into a big Patrick Lencioni admirer of his work and implementing into my work culture.
