The Five Behaviors™ of a Cohesive Team – coming soon!

The Five Behaviors™ of a Cohesive Team by best-selling author Patrick Lencioni is proven model for dealing with dysfunctional teams.  Powered by Everything DiSC® – A Wiley Brand, the Everything DiSC® Five Behaviors™ of a Cohesive Team Profile compliments the model and provides both individual and team feedback. Lencioni’s model consists of a pyramid with the five dysfunctions of a team (read from the bottom up.)

  • ABSENCE OF TRUST stems from team members unwillingness to be vulnerable and genuinely open up with one another about their mistakes and weaknesses.
  • FEAR OF CONFLICT creates the inability to engage in unfiltered, yet constructive debate.
  • LACK OF COMMITMENT can be expected when ideas and opinions have not been aired and genuinely taken into consideration prior to a decision.
  • AVOIDANCE OF ACCOUNTABILITY without accountability and a commitment to a clearly defined set of goals, team members will hesitate to call their colleagues on their actions and behaviors that are counterproductive for the team.
  • INATTENTION TO RESULTS avoidance of accountability leads to a state where team members tend to put their individual needs above the team’s collective goals.

In his book, Lencioni uses a modern fable to make his points by describing a start-up company that has hired a new CEO who had to deal with a dysfunctional team, including one malicious, spiteful worker.  He then diagnoses and describes symptoms of teams in trouble and contrasts how dysfunctional teams behave by comparing them to a cohesive team.

The strength of this seminar is that it gets at the ROOTS of team failure. The principles presented in The FIVE BEHAVIORS of a COHESIVE TEAM are solid and will get results.

The FIVE BEHAVIORS of a COHESIVE TEAM will be available soon.   Stay tuned!
