The Single Most Untapped Competitive Advantage is Teamwork

To gain this advantage, teams must:

• Trust One Another
  When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, they are able to build vulnerability-based trust.
  
  
• Engage in Conflict Around Ideas
  When there is trust, team members are able to engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas.
  
  
• Commit to Decisions
  When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they will be more likely to commit to decisions.
  
  
• Hold One Another Accountable
  When everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable.
  
  
• Focus on Achieving Collective Results
  The ultimate goal of building greater trust, conflict, commitment, and accountability is one thing: the achievement of results.

What Does This Program Do?

The program helps teams understand how, as a team, they score on the key components of The Five Behaviors model: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results. Each individual on the team will also understand their own personality style and their team members styles, based on the DiSC® model: D: Dominance, i: Influence, S: Steadiness, and C: Conscientiousness, and how their style contributes to the team’s overall success.

Who Is It For?

The program is designed exclusively for intact teams and workgroups. The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team harnesses the power of Everything DiSC and the clarity and simplicity of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team model. You can see a sample profile here.

How Does It Work?

The Five Behaviors Model is used to help team members learn to work together more efficiently and effectively and become a more cohesive team. A productive, high-functioning team:

• Makes better, faster decisions.
• Taps into the skills and opinions of all members.
• Avoids wasting time and energy on politics, confusion, and destructive conflict.
• Avoids wasting time talking about the wrong issues and revisiting the same topics over and over again because of a lack of buy-in.
• Creates a competitive advantage.
• Is more fun to be on!
