The Five Behaviors

The Behaviors of a Cohesive Team walks intact teams through a journey to grow in five areas: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results. The evaluation is an effective tool for tracking growth. The team will create a baseline for the existing situation by first conducting the evaluation at the beginning of the development activity. Afterward, conducting a re-assessment will give the team useful feedback about where they are progressing and where more effort needs to be put after they have learned and practiced new abilities.  

The Secret to Successful Team Dynamics

  • Trust Each Other – The members of great teams have a core emotional trust for one another and are at ease being open and honest with one another about their flaws, faults, worries, and habits. They reach a stage when they are able to communicate with one another without any restrictions
  • Take Part in Conflict around Ideas – Teams with strong interpersonal trust aren’t hesitant to debate important concepts that are essential to the success of the company. They don’t hold back when it comes to challenging, questioning, and disagreeing with one another in the pursuit of the best solutions, the truth, and wise choices 
  • Stick with Decisions – Even when different team members initially disagree, disagreement surrounding ideas helps teams establish commitment to outcomes. This is because they make sure that all viewpoints and ideas are presented, discussed, and taken into account, providing team members the assurance that no detail has been overlooked
  • Hold Each Other Accountable – One of the Behaviors of a Cohesive Team is accountability. Those who are committed to their decisions and performance standards aren’t afraid to hold one another accountable for upholding them. Additionally, they don’t look primarily on the team leader for accountability
  • Pay Attention to Achieving Group Goals – Team members are more likely to put aside their individual interests and agendas and concentrate on attaining collective goals if they have mutual trust, participate in conflict over ideas, commit to decisions, and hold one another responsible. They resist the need to put the communal outcomes that characterize team success ahead of their departments, professional goals, or ego-driven prestige

Each team member is given a DiSC behavior-style assessment as part of the Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team. The findings are plotted on a single graph that displays each team member’s personality and behavioral “style” (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness). A major factor in how people present themselves and interpret the words and actions of others is their personality and behavioral style. The team as a whole is able to collaborate more successfully by developing a deeper understanding and stronger appreciation of each team member’s style.  

Due to its strength and rarity, teamwork is the ultimate competitive advantage. A team that works well together may realize its potential, which leads to a more wholesome and effective workplace. Beyond simply assisting firms in becoming more effective, strengthening teamwork is a crucial endeavor. Additionally, it lessens the stress and discontent of the employees in those firms, which has a significant effect on their friends’ and families’ life as well. Team members can get a feel of their particular strengths and potential improvement areas through the Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team examination.
