Great teach me.
I learned a lot about what not to do in business. If you want to become a functional team, this book will help you identify if your team is dysfunctional. It will provide you with an avenue on how to become functionally successful;)

Simple, yet deep
Crafted so artfully I was able to listen this book in one afternoon. Although simple to understand, the concepts taught within the allegory are deep and well-thought. All who are leaders of a team of any sort should use this book as a standard for how that team should function.

I like that the book explains things in details.
I like that the book explains things in details. I dislike that,for the most part, it tells it in a f form of a story, but this is what many people like about the book. Overall, it deserves a five star.

Like this whole data.
As a new supervisor, who heads a dysfunctional team, this book has been a game changer. Who knew that conflict could be so productive. I tried some of the tips in the book and I could not believe my team actually started working together to solve issues. I will read this book over & over again. I even want to send some copies to my upper management.

Extraordinary book.
If you have a dysfunctional team at work, this book does a good job of how they can happen. Easy to listen and a good demonstration of how different personalities can impact teams and how teams suffer unless the dysfunction is identified and removed.

buy the complete book, this is just incomplete
book is good but this summary is waste of time and money. it skims over everything, examples and sometimes is not very clear what the author intended.

Great Book, Narrator is horrible
Enjoyed this book and it’s concepts, but the narrator will put you to sleep. For a long time I thought she was a computer reading me the story. If you can make it past that the book is a good rate
