The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Teamwork remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare. He makes the point that if you could get all the people in an organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market and against any competition. Patrick uncovers the natural human tendencies that derail teams and lead to politics and confusion in so many organizations.

The Three Signs of a Miserable Job

Patrick addresses perhaps the most timeless and elusive topic related to work: job misery. Using a mix of humor and poignancy, he dismantles the root causes of frustration and anguish at work: anonymity, irrelevance and immeasurement. He provides managers at all levels, as well as employees, with actionable wisdom and advice about how they can bring fulfillment and meaning to any job.

The Five Temptations of a CEO

Patrick believes that too many leaders overcomplicate their jobs. In reality, a leader's success hinges on a few simple behaviors that require remarkable levels of discipline. He challenges leaders to engage in self-exploration and to assess their own temptations, and offers actionable advice on how to overcome these all too common behavioral pitfalls that even the best leaders face.
