Clearly this is a book I was given to read by my work. It seems a lot of workplaces are all up in this guys book. It is super corporate and a bit condescending. The author has little understanding of consensus and zero critique of hierarchy. All that said, the central premise that people cannot function as a group without trust, honesty, and productive conflict is not wrong. I've definitely watched collectives fall apart exhibiting some of the same behaviors outlined in the book. Not recommending it, but if your work makes you read it...
