THE FIVE BEHAVIORS®

Every team has a conversation it keeps not having. The Five Behaviors® puts it on the table.

I'm an Authorized Associate for Everything DiSC® and The Five Behaviors®, and certified in both. I use this one in a lot of my team effectiveness work. When I run the session, everyone's profile is included.

Built on Patrick Lencioni's model, it gives a team a shared language for trust, conflict, commitment, accountability and results, an honest read on where the team stands on each one and a way to practice all five.

THE PROFILE

What each participant gets

Each participant completes an individual assessment that maps their tendencies across all five behaviors and gets a personalized profile with concrete strategies, not abstract theory. It comes in two editions: Team Development for an intact team and Personal Development for individuals at any level.

  • Build vulnerability-based trust. The safety that lets team members take risks and be honest with each other.
  • Have productive conflict. Move from artificial harmony to open debate about ideas, not people.
  • Commit for real. When people weigh in, they buy in. Real debate leads to real commitment to decisions.
  • Hold each other accountable. Teams call each other on it directly instead of waiting for the leader to do it.
  • Focus on collective results. Shared outcomes that matter to the whole team, ahead of individual agendas.

I run it for firms that are serious about how their teams work, whether that means one intact leadership team or teamwork skills across the whole organization.

TWO EDITIONS

Two editions, one model.

If you're working with your actual team, Team Development assesses the team as a unit. If you're building individual skills, Personal Development works for anyone, in any role, with no intact team required.

TEAM DEVELOPMENT

For an intact team that works together every day

Team Development assesses your actual team against the five behaviors. Each member completes an individual assessment, and the team gets an aggregate report showing where it is strong and where it isn't. It is less a model than a mirror.

Best for intact teams of five to twelve people who work together regularly.

How I run it

I run Team Development as a working session with your team.

Everyone's profile and the team report are included when I run the session.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

For individuals at any level, in any role

Personal Development teaches the five behaviors as individual competencies, with no intact team required. Each person learns how they contribute to, or undermine, trust, conflict, commitment, accountability and results. It works for cross-functional groups, new hires and anyone who wants to be a better teammate.

Works for any employee and any team structure.

How I run it

I run Personal Development as a workshop for any group.

Everyone's profile is included. No intact team is needed, so it works for cross-functional groups and new-hire cohorts.

HOW I RUN IT

Tell me about your team, and I'll tell you whether Five Behaviors fits.

Everyone's profile is included when I run the session, in person or virtually. Sometimes the right answer is this instrument, sometimes it's a different one and sometimes the team just needs the conversation.
