On Teamwork, Part 1

This double post has been three months in the making. No, it doesn't take that long for me to come up with a profound idea. It's two photos, taken three months apart, that provide the bookends of this story.

I recently have come across the Patrick Lencioni series of leadership fables, most notably The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. It's based on a pyramid that builds through the five dysfunctions that destroy team work, and I could not be more in tune with the concept.

Get your own copy, but I gave you the quick shot from the book only to help illustrate the next entry of the blog. Looking at this picture in the book reminded me of something I saw months earlier in Las Vegas.
