And the thing is, we're just not gonna turn to each other in a meeting and say, hey, Hala, I think you're not doing what we agreed to.

Or Pat, I think you kind of violated something right there.

Because if you know I never really committed to it,

how much confidence are you gonna have to remind me that I fell short?

But if we all committed, then it's like, hey, we committed together, so what's going on?

That is the hardest one.

In society, I think this is human nature.

People don't like to say, I think you need to do better.

And then the final one seems so obvious, but it's about results.

And the last dysfunction of a team is when people aren't paying attention to the collective results of the team, but rather their own results.

And this is natural.

I'm more worried about my department or my career or my reputation or my status or my bonus.

Real teamwork means overcoming that dysfunction to focus on my results rather than ours.

So those are the five dysfunctions.

Trust leads to conflict, which leads to commitment, which leads to accountability, which leads to the collective results of the team.

The biggest one is that they are invulnerable.

And I always like to say, there's that old saying, when I was a kid, there was this deodorant commercial that said, don't let them see you sweat.

And the best leaders are the ones that go, check this out.

Because you go, so you know you're sweating.
