The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team
Improve the productivity and performance of your teams
Program Overview
The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team® is a compelling leadership development program developed in partnership with Patrick Lencioni, based on his international bestseller, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. This powerful program transforms teams through a behavior model that improves team cohesion, effectiveness and productivity.
The Five Behaviors model takes the form of a pyramid illustrating the five key behaviors that are essential to developing a cohesive and high-performing team: mutual Trust, constructive Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and attention to Results; with each behavior serving as the foundation for the next.
Simple, solid and straightforward, this program encourages participants to re-evaluate their approach to teamwork and to adopt new, more effective behaviors to improve their team’s productivity and performance by creating a genuine culture of collaboration and excellence.

Program Components
The Assessment
As a first step, an online evaluation which takes about 30 minutes to complete, is sent to all participants 2 weeks before the workshop.
The Profile
After taking the assessment, participants receive a precise, personalized profile of about 20 pages. This highly detailed report helps team members better understand themselves and their work style as well as the personalities on their team so that together they can achieve individual and collective objectives more effectively. Participants will also learn how their specific team is performing on each of the key behaviors in The Five Behaviors model.
The Workshop
The experience is completed through a half-day workshop, led by a trained Five Behaviors expert. This training session enables participants to evaluate their approach to teamwork and provides them with personalized information about the critical behaviors and interpersonal skills needed to improve the cohesion and performance of any team.
The workshop includes a walkthrough of the personalized profile, breakout activities, group discussions as well as relevant videos.
Duration of the workshop: 3-4 hours (depending on the number of modules chosen)
