“Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.” – Patrick Lencioni
Your Team Can Do Better.
THE FIVE BEHAVIORS OF A COHESIVE TEAM is an assessment based learning experience that helps individuals and organizations reveal what it takes to build a truly cohesive and effective team in the most approachable, competent, and effective way possible. Powered by Everything DiSC®, the profiles help participants understand their own DiSC® styles. Bringing together everyone’s personalities and preferences to form a cohesive, productive team takes work, but the payoff can be huge for individuals, the team, and the organization.
Teamwork is the key to the success for any organization. But building a truly cohesive and high-performance team is not easy. Most teams mistake comfort for cohesiveness and this mistake is what leads to teams that breakdown under the slightest pressure.
This workshop is based on the Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team – an Everything DiSC assessment tool that brings together DiSC and Patrcik Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of a Team , to create a high impact team intervention. This is a learning experience designed for strategic and critical leadership teams. The program addresses the five tenets of teamwork that are the building blocks of any truly cohesive team.
The program brings together the Five Behaviors Model and the DiSC behaviours to bring about an understanding of current state of teamwork and the impact of individual behaviours on teamwork.
The payoff from building cohesive teams is significant for the individual, the team and the organization.

Strengthscape’s The Five Behaviors has a simple goal: To facilitate a learning experience that helps leaders and their organizations discover what it takes to build a truly cohesive and effective team. Five Behaviours focuses on understanding how individual tendencies influence effectiveness in a team
To gain this advantage, teams must:
1. Trust One Another
When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, they are able to build vulnerability-based trust.
2. Engage in Conflict Around Ideas
When there is trust, team members are able to engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas.
3. Commit to Decisions
When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they will be more likely to commit to decisions.
4. Hold One Another Accountable
When everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable.
5. Focus on Achieving Collective Results
The ultimate goal of building greater trust, conflict, commitment, and accountability is one thing: the achievement of results.
- Build vulnerability based trust
- Engage in conflict around ideas
- Commit to decisions taken as a team
- Hold one another accountable
- Focus on achieving collective results
There are many reasons teams fail.
There’s one proven way to help them succeed.
