There are 5 spices to team performance. Why?

Patrick Lencioni outlined the 5 dysfunctions of a team in his book

• absence of trust,
• fear of conflict,
• lack of commitment,
• avoidance of accountability,
• inattention to team results.

If you turn these around, you will find the 5 spices

• Impact: Shows the value the team creates for others (customers, colleagues),

• Reliability: no excuses, only smooth performance, no unresolved issues

• Structure and clarity: no guesswork, clear accountability,

• Purpose: the higher calling, pride in the things you work on, finding meaning in your work,

• Psychological safety: no hidden agendas, speaking up, daring confrontation to encourage innovation.

Leaders use the spice-shakers often.
