The Five Dysfunctions

Great teams are not conflict-free. They have enough trust to disagree productively and still commit.

Tim hebat bukan tim tanpa konflik. Tim hebat punya trust yang cukup untuk berkonflik secara sehat dan tetap berkomitmen.

Trust Conflict Commitment Accountability Results

ProblemMasalah

Team failure is rarely a competence problem.

Kegagalan tim jarang soal kompetensi.

It emerges from social patterns underneath the surface.

Ia muncul dari pola sosial yang tersembunyi di bawah permukaan.

Visible — individual skill, performance metricsskill individu, metrik performa

Ego protectionJaga ego

Conflict avoidanceHindari konflik

Weak buy-inBuy-in lemah

Reluctance to challenge peersEnggan menegur peers

Individual wins over team winsKemenangan individu > tim

The PyramidPiramida

Dysfunctions compound.

Dysfunction saling menumpuk.

Each layer weakens the layer above it — a causal chain, not five checklist items.

Setiap lapisan memperlemah lapisan di atasnya — rantai kausal, bukan checklist independen.

1Absence of TrustAbsence of Trust

1 — Absence of TrustAbsence of Trust

This means vulnerability-based trust.

Yang dimaksud: vulnerability-based trust.

"I was wrong." · "I don't know." · "I need help." · "You know this better than I do."

"Saya salah." · "Saya tidak tahu." · "Saya butuh bantuan." · "Anda lebih ahli dari saya."

Without it, energy is spent on impression management instead of the work.

Tanpa itu, energi habis untuk impression management, bukan untuk pekerjaan.

Building TrustMembangun Trust

Trust grows from repeated evidence.

Trust tumbuh dari bukti berulang.

Safe personal contextKonteks personal aman

Acknowledge strengths & limitsAkui kekuatan & keterbatasan

Leader models vulnerability firstLeader lebih dulu vulnerable

Never punish honestyJangan hukum kejujuran

Not a one-off team-building event.

Bukan team building satu kali.

2 — Fear of ConflictFear of Conflict

Low trust breeds artificial harmony.

Trust rendah melahirkan artificial harmony.

🗓️ Meeting room

🗓️ Ruang meeting

Looks polite, debate stays surface-level

Tampak sopan, debat dangkal

💬 Backchannel

Real conflict moves to DMs, hallways, politics

Konflik nyata pindah ke DM, hallway, politik

The needed conflict is ideological — about decisions, not people.

Konflik yang dibutuhkan soal ide dan keputusan, bukan serangan personal.

Healthy ConflictKonflik Sehat

Hard on ideas, safe for people.

Keras pada ide, aman pada orang.

Recap before closing

Rekap sebelum ditutup

Leaders should not rush to rescue the team from productive tension.

Leader jangan buru-buru menyelamatkan tim dari tensi yang produktif.

3 — Lack of CommitmentLack of Commitment

Commitment is not consensus.

Commitment bukan consensus.

People can lose the argument and still commit — if the debate was real and the final decision is clear.

Orang bisa tidak dapat pilihan favoritnya dan tetap commit — jika debatnya nyata dan keputusannya jelas.

Teams stall when decisions are unclear or people feel unheard.

Tim macet saat keputusan tidak jelas atau merasa tidak didengar.

Decision ClarityKejelasan Keputusan

Every decision meeting ends with five things.

Tiap meeting keputusan berakhir dengan lima hal.

What was decidedApa yang diputuskan

What was not decidedApa yang belum diputuskan

Who owns itSiapa owner-nya

When the checkpoint isKapan checkpoint-nya

How we'll communicate itBagaimana kita jelaskan ke tim lain

4 — Avoidance of AccountabilityAvoidance of Accountability

Strong teams build peer accountability.

Tim kuat punya peer accountability.

👮 Manager as police

👮 Manager jadi polisi

Only the manager challenges the team

Hanya manager yang menegur

🤝 Peer accountability

Members hold each other to agreed standards

Anggota saling menjaga standar yang disepakati

Observable StandardsStandar yang Observable

Don't police attitude. Address behavior.

Jangan tegur attitude. Tegur perilaku.

"Bad attitude""Attitude buruk"→Missed handoffHandoff terlewat

"Not a team player""Bukan team player"→Shows up without dataDatang tanpa data

"Doesn't own it""Tidak owning"→Doesn't close action itemsTidak menutup action item

5 — Inattention to ResultsInattention to Results

Status and silos beat collective outcomes.

Status dan silo mengalahkan hasil kolektif.

Test question: are we willing to "lose" as a function so the team wins?

Pertanyaan tes: rela "kalah" sebagai fungsi agar tim menang?

First TeamFirst Team

A leader's primary loyalty is cross-functional.

Loyalitas utama leader ke tim lintas fungsi.

🏢 Departmental rep

🏢 Wakil departemen

Enters the room as a function's advocate

Masuk ruang sebagai wakil fungsinya

🌐 Enterprise leader

Enters as part of the leadership team first

Masuk sebagai bagian leadership team dulu

Meeting DiagnosticDiagnostik Meeting

Audit your last meeting.

Audit meeting terakhir Anda.

Was there real disagreement?Ada disagreement nyata?

Were decisions explicit?Keputusan eksplisit?

Were missed commitments challenged?Missed commitment ditegur?

Did it return to collective outcomes?Kembali ke outcome kolektif?

If all answers are "no," don't start with a productivity tool — start with trust.

Jika semua "tidak," jangan mulai dari productivity tool — mulai dari trust.
