\n<\/strong>His definition of trust is the ability of group members to show their weaknesses, to be vulnerable and open with one another. \u00a0High levels of trust reduce the fear of conflict, the next dysfunction.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>All meaningful relationships require productive conflict for them to grow.\u00a0 Dysfunctional teams tend to avoid conflict by wearing masks and attempting to be nice to each other-artificial harmony resulting in a group of “yes-men” instead of a high performance team. \u00a0By addressing conflict in a positive manner, teams can break through the next dysfunction, lack of commitment.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Commitment requires\u00a0clarity <\/em>and\u00a0buy-in<\/em>. For people to buy into something, their opinions and thoughts must be heard and discussed.\u00a0 Commitment leads to high levels of accountability characteristic of high performance teams and minimizes the next dysfunction.<\/p>\n
\nMutual accountability requires clarity about what is expected and how progress is measured. There must also be clear standards about who needs to do what, by when. Mutual accountability leads to the cure for the next dysfunction, Inattention to Results.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Members of a healthy, high performance team place team results ahead of their own interests.\u00a0 This requires the leader to keep the team focused on results by making them clear for all to see and reward the behaviors that contribute to those results.<\/p>\n
\n2. Effectively addressing conflict when discussing ideas.
\n3. Assuring commitment to decisions and plans of action.
\n4. Holding one another accountable for appropriate actions as planned.
\n5. Always focusing on the achievement of collective, mutually established results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
