About the Programme

The Five Behaviors® assessment and accompanying material is designed for an intact team. Before choosing this programme, consider the question: Is the team really a TEAM? A team is a relatively small number of people (from three to twelve) who meet on a regular basis and are collectively responsible for results. The team members share common goals as well as the rewards and responsibilities for achieving them. Not every group is a team. For example, a group that appears to be a team might simply be a collection of people who report to the same manager, but who have relatively little interdependence and mutual accountability. If a group does not meet the criteria of a true team, this process is unlikely to produce the results they expect.

• Assessment: 3 sets of questions, full adaptive version of Everything DiSC®, team survey and team culture questions
• Individual Profiles, Team Progress Reports and one-on-one Comparison Reports
• Participant handouts, take-away cards and activities.

With this programme, participants will learn how, as a team, they score on the key components of the model: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results. Additionally, the programme is powered by Everything DiSC®, the most researched personality model that help individuals understand themselves and others better. Using these results, participants will be able to create a better, stronger team.

Module 1: Introduction – Introduces The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™ Model

Module 2: Building Trust – Teaches the concept of vulnerability-based trust

Module 3: Mastering Conflict – Helps participants understand the benefits of healthy conflict

Module 4: Achieving Commitment – Shows how clarity and buy-in are key to achieving commitment

Module 5: Embracing Accountability – Stresses the importance of peer-to-peer accountability

Module 6: Focusing on Results – Emphasises that collective results are more important than individual goals

Module 7: Review and Action Plan – Allows participants to review what they’ve learned and to create an action plan to improve the team’s productivity

At the end of the day, the participant has to agree with his or her results. And while most assessments are just tested for internal reliability, The Five Behaviors® programme takes it a few steps further. Think of test-retest (the stability of the tool), the correlations with other respected instruments, the correlations with outside observer ratings, and the correlations with actual work behavior. It’s a big investment, but it is done because this information is what allows refinement of the assessment and assuring that participants get the most accurate results possible. Getting the assessment right is the very first job.
