Team success should be the ultimate focus from "summary" of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni
The primary focus of any team should always be on achieving success as a collective unit. This means that individual agendas and personal goals must be set aside in favor of what is best for the team as a whole. When team members prioritize the team's success above all else, they are more likely to work together effectively and overcome any obstacles that may arise. By keeping team success as the ultimate focus, team members are more likely to communicate openly and honestly with one another. This transparency allows for greater collaboration and trust among team members, leading to increased productivity and performance. When everyone is working towards a common goal, it creates a sense of unity and purpose within the team. Furthermore, when team success is the ultimate focus, team members are more willing to hold themselves and each other accountable for their actions. This accountability is essential for maintaining high standards of performance and ensuring that the team is always working towards its goals. Without this level of accountability, it is easy for individuals to become complacent or to prioritize their own needs over the needs of the team. In addition, when team success is the ultimate focus, team members are more likely to put aside their egos and work together towards a shared vision. This requires humility and a willingness to listen to others' perspectives, even if they differ from one's own. By embracing diversity of thought and working together towards a common goal, teams can achieve greater success than any individual could on their own.- By making team success the ultimate focus, teams can overcome the five dysfunctions that often plague them - lack of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results. When team members prioritize the team's success above all else, they can work together effectively, communicate openly, hold each other accountable, and ultimately achieve their goals.
