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.

Transforming teamwork
An invaluable aid to leaders as they seek to understand themselves and their teams better. Essential for leaders of teams, especially (but by no means exclusively) prior to recruitment.

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.

First e-book and I've thoroughly enjoyed it!
Was recommended this book at a job interview the other day and I'm blown away by the concept of HHS! Now I know what it's like to act and think as a true team player, not just say I'm one.

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.

A great sequel!
I listened to 5 Dysfunctions of a Team and was blown away by it. I was hesitant to buy this one, as I was concerned it would be covering a load of the same material. My concerns were unfounded. This is a fantastic listen and perfectly compliments the 5 Dysfunctions with zero repetition.

Excellent & Informative
Great use of fable to deliver types of team characters and virtues of good, bad and ideal leadership. Along with benefit of probing assumptions.

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 : )
