In keeping with the parable style, Patrick Lencioni begins by telling the fable of a woman who, as CEO of a struggling Silicon Valley firm, took control of a dysfunctional executive committee and helped its members succeed as a team. Story time over, Lencioni offers explicit instructions for overcoming the human behavioral tendencies that he says corrupt teams.

Required Reading/Listening
Would you listen to The Ideal Team Player again? Why?
As the Chief of Staff for my organization I am designing and implementing the Team Development programs. These programs are based on The 5 Dysfunctions of Teams, The Ideal Team Player, and Sean Covey's The Four Disciplines of Execution. While "5 Dysfunctions" focuses on team level development, "The Ideal Team Player" focuses on individual development. I find that I "rewind and re-listen" often with Lencioni, and that I stop and take notes (OneNotes) and record thoughts.
What did you like best about this story?
The drama was fantastic. The characters and personalities engaging.
What about Stephen Hoye’s performance did you like?
Hoye's performance was great. I liked his energy and pace.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes!
Any additional comments?
While I began this book thinking about how to teach and share the principles of ideal team players with others, I came away with the determination to change my nature and to become a much better team player. Having and using this book is changing my life and making me a much better team player, and I am making my life a whole lot more fun and exciting.

Great format, narration
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definitely recommend this. I found the story form "fable" in the first 70% of the book to be a solid way to put the concepts into practice, so that the nuts & bolts description of the model was crystal clear.
What about Stephen Hoye’s performance did you like?
I listen to virtually all audio books at 1.5X speed, and I found that to be a good pace for this narration. The narration was very clear, contained appropriate inflections, and was engaging. For those who listen to audio books at 1X and find themselves getting distracted/bored, speed up the narration to a speed that will keep you engaged.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It would be a lot of information for one sitting, but the "fable" portion could certainly be engaging for one sitting. The model/application would be something you'd want to listen to more than once. Since the book was split up in this fashion, one can listen to the nuts & bolts application portion and get a lot of benefit w/o having to listen to the entire book over again.

Lot of talk about a simple concept
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Sure, but the guy reading the book was terrible, almost put me to sleep several times. I would buy the book not the audible version. Go to the end and simply read the overview. If you have read a lot of Patricks stuff then this is repeated material on some levels. I do love Pats stuff so don't think I'm down on him, not at all, just that it is repeating material.
Has The Ideal Team Player turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Stephen Hoye?
Whoever it was that narrated "The hard thing about hard things" by Ben Horowitz, THAT was a great book and well narrated. Also, Steve Jobs narrator.
Did The Ideal Team Player inspire you to do anything?
Perhaps, but not much.

Humble, Hungry, and Smart
Like his other books, the business advice is provided through the telling of a story. The benefit of doing it this way is that it provides a context as if you're in the story and can relate to what the characters are going through. You gain an understanding of the advice and how it might apply in real life. However, the author should not have written the story as if it's a fiction book written for entertainment, where the plot is drawn out to create suspense and details are added to develop the characters. Finally after multiple meetings and discussions, the characters (executives of the construction company) conclude the three key qualities of an ideal team player are: humble (not arrogant or dismissive of people), hungry (wanting to do more and learn more), and smart (emotional intelligence). Then the story dragged on again as they met with employees to figure out if the employees possessed those qualities. The last few chapters were useful in explaining key behaviors expected from ideal team players, such as willing to display vulnerability and build trust, hold people accountable, and commit to group decisions.

In a perfect world….
Heavily relies on modern day capitalistic slavery. This is an excellent how to get your employees to make you lots of money. This would work in a perfect world, where the leader’s themselves follow through on what they say, but I have worked in the construction industry for many years, and that is almost never the case.

it's o k a y
A reasonable follow-up to the 5 Dysfunctions, and the three core tenets of what makes a decent team player are good and useful enough (essentially humility, drive, and EI) to be applied - but there's an unnecessary religious element that pops up throughout, and the end "application" section relies on personality reports that I'm not convinced Lencioni is qualified or able to adequately connect, or dissect. But hey ho, it's an interesting listen up to a point, and I'm sure the three core values will be useful indicators in hiring decisions and employee review.

Thought provoking, but lacking empirical evidence.
The ideas in this book are logical and rational (or, at least, they seem to be). However, the primary substantiation for the thesis is anecdote and the author's experience. The book would benefit greatly from research and empirical evidence. Also, the author waits until the end of the book to identify the obvious limitation of his thesis; that it only applies to roles and/or businesses where teamwork is strategically signifficant. All-in-all, I found the book thought provoking but difficult to trust. I'm interested to try the ideas in my business.
