The Advantage (The Bigger Picture)

Patrick Lencioni’s book The Advantage argues that the greatest edge any organization can have is organizational health. A healthy organization has clarity, alignment, and trust — allowing it to maximize strategy, talent, and execution.



The other models — Working Genius, Ideal Team Player, and The Five Dysfunctions of a Team — are tools that build that health in specific, complementary ways.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team → Building Cohesive Teams

• This model focuses on the foundation of organizational health: trust, healthy conflict, commitment, accountability, and results.
• It ensures teams overcome the barriers that prevent high performance.
• Within The Advantage, this addresses the “cohesive leadership team” and helps create an environment of vulnerability-based trust where everything else can thrive.

Ideal Team Player → Hiring & Developing the Right People

• This framework defines the virtues of great team players: Humble, Hungry, and Smart (people-smart).
• It equips organizations to hire, evaluate, and coach employees so they reinforce a healthy culture.
• Inside The Advantage, this strengthens the clarity of “who belongs here” and ensures that talent matches the culture needed for success.

Working Genius → Unlocking Productivity & Joy at Work

• This model reveals the six types of work genius (Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, Tenacity).
• It helps people and teams understand where they thrive, where they struggle, and how to align responsibilities to natural talents.
• Within The Advantage, this ensures clarity about how work gets done and prevents burnout, disengagement, and frustration.

How They Work Together in The Advantage

• 5 Dysfunctions → Creates a healthy leadership team that trusts each other and aligns around results.
• Ideal Team Player → Ensures the right people (Humble, Hungry, Smart) are in the organization to sustain the culture of health.
• Working Genius → Provides clarity on roles and work so the right people are doing the right things in the right way.

Together, they create the organizational health that The Advantage claims is the most sustainable competitive advantage a company can have.
