(1888PressRelease) October 19, 2010 - SAN FRANCISCO - With nearly three million books sold, best-selling author and founder of The Table Group, Patrick Lencioni, will speak in a rare UK appearance to Benchmark for Business attendees in London, England on November 17, 2010.

Identifying, recruiting and retaining top talent will be one of the key differentiators of excellent organizations in the future. Taking those individuals and building them into effective teams is an even more significant challenge. Management experts Sir Ken Robinson and Patrick Lencioni will address these challenges by providing a practical roadmap for harnessing creativity, nurturing talent, creating teams, and providing effective leadership.

Patrick Lencioni's book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team has become the standard for eliminating the natural human tendencies that derail teamwork and create costly, painful problems at work. Often cited as the definitive source of practical information for building teams, his work has prompted a transformation in countless organizations.

"During this challenging economic climate, many managers are looking for cost-effective methods of keeping their best people motivated," notes Lencioni. "My approach for employee engagement and satisfaction is remarkably simple and requires no money. It costs only a little time, and perhaps a bit more courage and vulnerability than managers are sometimes prepared to spend. But trust me, it's worth it."
