We don’t want to be a couple of old guys that disappear for months and return unannounced to give you poorly-informed life advice, but we think you should listen to this episode.  This week we remedy all your dysfunctions while discussing The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni.  We also travel to the Napa Valley to eat Pizza Hut and drink domestic beer; fall in love with a narcissist ex-ballerina; dabble in office politics; rant about the growing gaps between episodes; raid a toddler’s snack drawer; and opine on the evolving norms of meeting etiquette.

Sorry for the delay on this one!!! The new Fiscal Year required a sacrifice and your hosts were on the slab.  A belated happy FY 2020!  Let us know your Fiscal Year resolutions, book recommendations, or general dislike for what we have to offer at: [email protected] (email) and @RedTapedPodcast (Twitter).
