Video: Introduction to The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team Model
The single most untapped competitive advantage is teamwork. To gain this advantage, teams must:
- Trust One Another
When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, they are able to build vulnerability-based trust. - Engage in Conflict Around Ideas
When there is trust, team members are able to engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas.
- Commit to Decisions
When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they will be more likely to commit to decisions. - Hold One Another Accountable
When everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable. - Focus on Achieving Collective Results
The ultimate goal of building greater trust, conflict, commitment, and accountability is one thing: the achievement of results.
What does this program do?
The programs help teams and individuals understand how they score on the key components of The Five Behaviors model: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results.

How does it work?
The Five Behaviors Model is used to help team members learn to work together more efficiently and effectively and become a more cohesive team. A productive, high-functioning team that achieves the following:
- Makes better, faster decisions
- Taps into the skills and opinions of all members
- Avoids wasting time and energy on politics, confusion,
and destructive conflict - Avoids wasting time talking about the wrong issues and revisiting
the same topics over and over again because of a lack of buy-in - Creates a competitive advantage
- Is more fun to be on!

FAQ
What is The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™ program?
It’s an assessment-based team development experience that helps intact work teams build real cohesion and effectiveness. It shows where your team stands on trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results—grounded in The Five Dysfunctions of a Team model and powered by Everything DiSC®.
Who is this program designed for?
Real teams only. Think 3–12 people with shared goals and mutual accountability who work together regularly. It’s a strong fit for intact leadership, executive, or project teams ready to move from polite to productive.
What does the program actually do?
It helps teams understand how they work together—and how to work better together. You get clear assessment insights, personality dynamics, and visibility into behavior patterns that either fuel success or quietly sabotage it.
What are “The Five Behaviors”?
They’re the behaviors that predict whether a team performs or plateaus: trust one another, engage in healthy conflict, commit to decisions, hold one another accountable, and focus on collective results. Miss one, and the whole thing wobbles.
How does the program work in practice?
Through facilitated sessions, assessments, and practical tools. Participants use guides, videos, handouts, and takeaway cards that turn insight into action—no shelfware.
Does this program only measure team performance once?
No. Teams can use a Progress Report to compare results over time, spot improvements, and catch backsliding early—before old habits sneak back in.
Is this only for intact teams?
The core program is. For groups without shared accountability, there’s a Personal Development option that focuses on building collaboration skills across functions.
What results can a team expect?
Clearer decisions, healthier conflict, stronger buy-in, less politics, and better results. Bonus: teams tend to enjoy working together again.
