Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team Program
The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team program is a globally trusted framework that transforms the way teams work together. Designed around Patrick Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of a Team, and enhanced with Everything DiSC®, it helps organizations build teams that trust one another, engage in healthy conflict, commit to decisions, hold one another accountable, and focus on results.
Strengthscape has delivered this program extensively in India and worldwide, making it one of our flagship offerings. Through experiential activities, intensive discussions, and structured facilitation, we help teams achieve breakthrough performance.
Background of the Program
Initially, team-building programs often focused on surface-level bonding. Through time, organizations realized that lasting team effectiveness requires addressing deeper behavioral issues.
Wiley, in collaboration with Patrick Lencioni, developed the Five Behaviors framework and combined it with the Everything DiSC® assessment. This created a robust tool that measures individual preferences while building a shared roadmap for teams.
At present, the program is used globally by organizations of all sizes. Strengthscape has emerged as a pioneer in delivering this program in India, tailoring it to local and global corporate contexts.
