As a new manager at Learn-E-Now, you manage a team of four members, including yourself. Unfortunately, CEO Zenobia Xanthopoulos has been notified that your team is struggling with team dysfunction. Often team issues in international situations are attributed to culture or diversity. In some instances, this is not the case. After speaking with the team, the following five areas surfaced as root causes for the team’s dysfunctions (Lencioni, 2002):
Inattention to results
Avoidance of accountability
Lack of commitment
Fear of conflict
Absence of trust
After reviewing the Lencioni infographic and the video, develop possible solutions as related to Lencioni’ s five dysfunctions in a three- to four-page paper.

Define inattention to results, avoidance of accountability, lack of commitment, fear of conflict, and absence of trust.
