Sometimes teams need to focus on consensus building, but at other points in their journey, their need to seek consensus is a sign that the team is avoiding conflict. In this episode, we talk about the case of a team that was undermining itself by trying to always establish consensus before taking action.
In this segment, we refer to the book: The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni.
