Credible. Entertaining. Timeless. Compelling. Authentic. These are words which audience members and clients commonly use to describe Patrick Lencioni's presentations. The combination of his humorous and engaging style, along with the soundness of his theories, has made Pat a sought-after speaker. He has presented to hundreds of groups, tailoring each of his presentations to his particular audience. Patrick Lencioni is the founder and president of The Table Group, Inc., a specialized management-consulting firm focused on organizational health. Since establishing the firm in 1997, Lencioni has become one of the nations leading experts on executive team development. While coaching and consulting to hundreds of CEOs and executives, Lencioni began to observe fundamental behavioral patterns among his clients that later formed the basis of his original theories on leadership. At the urging of those same clients and other colleagues, Lencioni penned his first best-selling book, The Five Temptations of a CEO (1998), positioning him as a leader in the trend of business fiction. Two years later in the fall of 2000, he completed his second leadership fable, The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive. His highly anticipated book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, was added to the Lencioni Leadership Collection in the spring of 2002. And his latest page-turning fable, Death by Meeting, was released February 2004. In addition to his books, Lencioni's leadership theories have appeared in a variety of publications, most notably Harvard Business Review, which featured Pat's original theory on corporate values (July 2002). Other publications include Drucker Foundation's Leader to Leader, California CEO, Executive Excellence, Association Management, Human Resource Executive and The San Jose Mercury News. Lencioni's writings are based on his consulting work with numerous Bay Area companies and national organizations, including Fortune 500 corporations, high profile post-IPO companies, start-ups, universities and non-profit organizations. His clients cover a broad spectrum of industries, ranging from technology and professional services to retail and manufacturing. Lencioni also conveys his models on leadership and organizational health to thousands of leaders every year through his work as a highly sought-after public speaker. He has been the featured keynote at a wide variety of international conferences, conventions and management retreats. His clients include Novell, Visa, Sam's Club, New York Life, The American Chamber of Commerce Executives, TEC Worldwide, Bank of America, Avnet, Inc. and Young Presidents' Organization. Prior to founding The Table Group, Lencioni worked at Bain & Company, Oracle Corporation and Sybase, where he was vice president of organizational development. He also served on the National Board of Directors for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America from 2000-2003. Lencioni's keynote topics can be tailored to suit the unique needs of each client: Teams The Five Dysfunctions of a Team : Anyone who has ever worked in an organization understands the frustration caused by office politics and dysfunctional teams. Unfortunately, there has never been a full understanding of the underlying reasons for these problems, and certainly no hope for a cure--until now. Based on his runaway best-seller, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Pat Lencioni identifies the five root causes for team dysfunction and provides solutions to help make any team successful. Meetings Death by Meeting : Based on his latest book, Death By Meeting, Pat Lencioni reveals some surprising truths about why we hate meetings, why we shouldn't, and how to make them work. He debunks the myth that meetings are inherently bad and makes the case that they are, in fact, one of the most critical activities at the heart of a competitive organization. Using pointed and humorous case studies, Pat paints the picture of prototypically bad meetings, and presents a new, radical approach to meetings, one that transforms them from drudgery to focused, relevant and compelling business activities. Organizational Health The Four Disciplines of a Healthy Organization : According to Pat Lencioni, organizational health is one of the last competitive advantages for sustainable success. He not only offers actionable advice on how to begin the process of building a healthy organization but also provides key insights on how to minimize confusion and politics and create an atmosphere of maximum clarity, where employee productivity can flourish. Leadership The Five Temptations of a Leader : A leader's success hinges on a few simple behaviors - behaviors that require remarkable levels of discipline.
