Five Behaviors® Team Development
“Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. Teamwork still remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.”
– Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
The Five Behaviors® for Stronger Teams
Build. Better. Teams.
The Five Behaviors Team Development training program combines Patrick Lencioni’s model from his bestselling book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, with unique insights from the DiSC® behavioral assessment. Individual team members receive a personalized report that will help them understand their team dynamics and personal style. Within these insights, they will learn how they might affect and be affected by their team.
This powerful training program teaches teams how to embrace five specific behaviors for better teamwork:
- Vulnerability-based Trust
- Constructive Conflict
- Commitment
- Accountability
- Team-oriented Results
While each area in this model is important, the model doesn’t work unless the team is able to build strength in each in order. For this reason, the model is represented as a pyramid, with teams mastering one behavior at a time.
Just like Kathryn Petterson’s team in the Five Dysfunctions book, your team (or teams within your organization) will begin by building trust. Teams will discuss their aggregate ratings for this behavior and delve into personalized insights to discover what might cause them to lose trust.
Before the team can move on to tackle how to engage in productive conflict, they must first ensure that they trust each other.
Five Behaviors Training: How it Works
Take the Five Behaviors Team assessment
During this assessment, individual team members will rate their team on each of the Five Behaviors and complete a personal behavioral assessment. Don't worry -- no one will see any individual responses. It's important that participants are honest about how they see themselves and their team.
Participate in a training program
This program is most effective when it is facilitated by someone who is not on the team. A facilitator can help teams navigate the training while acting as a third party. All of the materials needed to conduct the training are available in the Facilitation Kit or you can contact our organization to run the program for you.
Follow-up with free progress & supplemental reports
The Five Behaviors assessment offers free comparison reports which allow teams to understand their behavioral differences. Additionally, teams can retake the team assessment as many times as they want for free! This offers teams a way to benchmark their progress and aim to become the most effective team possible.
