by Patrick Lencioni
Lencioni argues that the best team players are humble, hungry, and smart (people-smart), and that missing any one of the three creates predictable failure modes like the accidental mess-maker or the skillful politician. The fable follows a construction company heir using the three-virtue model to hire, coach, and fire against a team-first culture.
