What is The Five Behaviours®?
Based on Patrick Lencioni's best-selling book, 'The Five Dysfunctions of a Team', the Five Behaviors model categorizes the fundamental practices of a successful team. Starting at the base of the pyramid and working upwards, each layer adds a more advanced element of collaboration.
The Five Behaviors Assessment reveals where a team currently stands in relation to each layer of the pyramid. This highlights both the healthy elements and the dysfunctional elements of the team's working culture. With this information the team can become stronger - starting by reinforcing their foundations, then building upwards to achieve outstanding results.
Focus on Achieving Collective Results
The ultimate goal is the achievement of results, which is unlocked through implementing the model’s principles of Trust, Conflict, Commitment, and Accountability.
Hold One Another Accountable
Once everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable.
Commit to Decisions
When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they feel heard and respected, and will be more likely to commit to decisions.
Engage in Conflict around Ideas
With trust, team members are able to engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas.
Trust One Another
When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, it forms a safe environment that creates and builds vulnerability-based trust.
