Teams are the backbone of any successful organization, yet building and maintaining a cohesive team can be a challenge. This is where The Five Behaviors® steps in. Developed in partnership with Patrick Lencioni, author of the groundbreaking book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, this powerful framework transforms team dynamics, empowering individuals to work together effectively and achieve lasting results.

The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team

What Is The Five Behaviors?

The Five Behaviors is a proven model designed to help teams overcome common dysfunctions and work cohesively. Based on Lencioni’s internationally recognized pyramid model, it focuses on building trust, engaging in productive conflict, committing to shared goals, holding one another accountable, and driving measurable results.

Unlike traditional team-building programs, The Five Behaviors combines personalized insights with actionable strategies, creating an impactful learning experience tailored to each team’s unique needs. With an 89% satisfaction rate among learners, it’s no wonder organizations worldwide rely on this approach to strengthen team effectiveness.

Overcoming the Dysfunctions of a Team

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team—absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results—are common hurdles that prevent teams from reaching their full potential. By addressing these dysfunctions head-on, The Five Behaviors provides a roadmap for sustainable teamwork.

How Does The Five Behaviors® Work?

The journey begins with a comprehensive assessment that provides personalized insights into each team member’s personality, strengths, and behavioral tendencies. This assessment is followed by a facilitated experience—offered in both in-person and virtual formats—that equips teams with the tools they need to succeed.

Through engaging activities and guided discussions, team members learn how to build trust, embrace constructive conflict, and commit to shared goals. They also develop the discipline to hold each other accountable and stay focused on achieving results.

The Five Behaviors framework is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Its combination of Lencioni’s proven model and Everything DiSC® personality insights creates a customized learning experience that drives real change.
