Shared Commitment ( or send of Shared Purpose)

Shared commitment is a key concept in Patrick Lencioni's work on organizational health and team effectiveness. It refers to the idea that team members should be fully committed to a common goal, purpose, or objective.

Lencioni believes that shared commitment is an important ingredient for a successful team, as it fosters a sense of unity and a common focus. When team members are committed to a shared goal, they are more likely to work together effectively, and to make sacrifices for the benefit of the team. Lencioni argues that shared commitment is critical for overcoming the "five dysfunctions of a team": absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results.

Lencioni suggests that organizations can foster shared commitment by clarifying the team's purpose and goals, fostering open and honest communication, and holding all team members accountable for results. By promoting shared commitment, organizations can create teams that are more effective, engaged, and motivated to succeed.
