Based on the work of Patrick Lencioni’s international best-seller, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Five Behaviors® Team Development transforms intact teams through The Five Behaviors model of Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results to drive team effectiveness and productivity.
This powerful experience assesses an intact team’s approach to teamwork and helps team members better understand themselves and the personalities on their team so they can effectively achieve their goals.
The result is a unique and impactful team development solution that empowers teams to rethink their approach to teamwork, shape new, more productive behaviours to increase productivity, and create a common language that completely redefines what it means to work together. When team members gain the interpersonal skills needed to understand how they and others contribute to their team’s development and how their part can make or break the team and its dynamic, they can rise together.
Whether your business is experiencing communication breakdowns, lack of shared goals, or inconsistent performance, the Lencioni Model provides the tools to identify these challenges and develop solutions.

The Model:
The Five Behaviors® model takes the form of a pyramid, with each behaviour serving as a foundation for the next. Simple, sound, and straightforward – this model challenges teams to rethink their approach when working together.
3
The Profile:
After taking the assessment, participants receive a precise, personalised profile that deepens their understanding of self, work style, and others on their team. Teams will also learn how their specific team is performing on each of the behaviours in The Five Behaviors model. These findings will help the team better understand their dynamics and create action plans for areas of improvement.

Tools to Continue the Teams Development:
Because building a cohesive team takes time and continuous effort, teams can continue their learning and development through both the comparison and progress reports. The comparison reports are follow-up reports which emphasize the importance of The Five Behaviors for both individual relationships and team functioning. With the progress report, teams will be able to compare how their performance has changed over time.

The Assessment:
It all starts with The Five Behaviors assessment, which measures how the team is performing in five areas: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results. Powered by DiSC, a research-validated assessment tool, this assessment helps participants identify their individual DiSC style and discover how each style brings value to the team.

The Facilitation
The facilitation experience takes place over a one-day or three-day training session, led by a trained Five Behaviours expert. This session brings the personalised profile insights to life through powerful breakout activities and group discussions that help the team translate the learnings into impactful everyday practices.
