When the Challenge Is the Team, Not the Individual.
Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team is a research-validated assessment experience designed for intact teams who are ready to do the honest work of building trust, navigating conflict, and driving collective results.
Five Behaviors® of a Cohesive Team
Based on Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions® of a Team and powered by Everything DiSC, this program measures how an intact team is performing across five critical behaviors: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results. Every participant completes a personalized assessment. The team receives a collective profile report that identifies exactly where cohesion is breaking down and what to address first.
The Five Behaviors is well-suited to groups of individuals. It is a team experience that requires the actual team to be in the room together. The work is honest, structured, and measurable over time.
Participants will learn:
-
How the team is currently performing across each of the five behaviors
-
Skills for building vulnerability-based trust as the foundation of team performance
-
How to engage in productive conflict that leads to commitment rather than avoidance
-
Skills for holding each other accountable to collective results

GETTING STARTED
Simple to Start. Built for Your Organization
Step 1.
We Talk.
Every engagement starts with a direct conversation. What is the organization trying to achieve? Who are the leaders? What is getting in the way? The answers to those questions shape everything that follows.
Step 2.
We Design.
Step 3.
We Deliver.
Your organization is unique. We build the content, sequence, and delivery around what your leaders actually need. Every program design starts with a conversation.
Every session draws from signature content developed through hundreds of real leadership engagements. The measure of a good program is not what happens in the room. It is what leaders do differently on Monday morning.
