“5 Dysfunctions” is a great, easy read for anyone on a team. I read this book in an undergrad class and again for work as a team building project. I also met Lencioni at a meet and greet and he was very genuine.

While it may look like a children's book on the outside, Fish! is an easy read for anyone.  It is commonly used in companies as a team building exercise as well as in many college business programs.  Similar to Who Moved My Cheese?, Fish! touches on leadership, psychology and incentivizing employees to be stewards of an organization rather than just a paycheck source.

One of the best books for leaders and managers to improve efficiency and cohesion!  Yes, it definitely has some idealistic properties like many leadership books, but I really like Lencioni's writing style and use of graphs to drive home the message.  The Advantage offers some practical steps on how to improve organization help that are broken down into “4 Disciplines”.  I've read this a couple times and occasionally reference my hard copy

A #1 NYT Bestseller for a reason.  A great read that offers a new look at how to deal with life and problems as they come.  The book does not sugarcoat anything and is very straight to the point about the message.  The proposed mindset is a 180 degree split from the typical self-help books that repeat the same ideology.  Highly recommend!
