The Five Behaviors® - Team Development

Best Work Yet is a Five Behaviors Authorized Partner

Build a Cohesive Team That Drives Results

At work, the only constant is change. It can feel impossible to develop a truly cohesive team. The truth: teams rarely hit their collaborative peak and potential unconsciously. 

Even if your team produces generally good results, you may be experiencing disengagement, lack of cohesion, or non-productive conflict. When your team’s productivity falters, it’s often difficult to pinpoint the source of concern. Even when you spot a few early warning signs before any severe drop in productivity, it’s often tempting to focus on those specific situations or individual interactions instead of addressing the real work of building a great team dynamic from the ground up, the right way. 

With the proper framework, developing and practicing teamwork comes consistently, and relationships thrive—taking your organization to the next level. The Five Behaviors® Team Development can transform your perspective and how you come together as a team.

What is The Five Behaviors® Team Development?

Based on the work of Patrick Lencioni’s international best-seller, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Five Behaviors® Team Development transforms intact teams through the model of Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results to drive team effectiveness and productivity.  

This powerful virtual or in-person experience assesses your team’s approach to teamwork. It helps team members better understand themselves and the personalities on the team so they can effectively achieve their goals. 

The result is a unique and impactful team development solution that empowers your team to rethink their approach to teamwork, shape new, more productive behaviors to increase productivity, and create a common language that completely redefines what it means to work together. When team members gain the interpersonal skills needed to understand how they and others contribute to the team’s development and how they can make or break the group and its dynamic, you can rise together

How Does the Five Behaviors® Team Development Work?

Patrick Lencioni, a thought-leader on effective teamwork and collaboration, introduced his powerful and approachable model 20 years ago. Best Work Yet is proud to be an Authorized Partner, bringing Lencioni’s model to life through engaging and personalized learning experiences. Here’s how it works:

The Model 

The Five Behaviors® model takes the form of a pyramid, with each behavior serving as a foundation for the next. Simple, sound, and straightforward—this model will challenge your team to rethink their approach when working together.

The Assessment 

It all starts with The Five Behaviors assessment, which measures how your team performs in five areas: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results. Powered by Everything DiSC®, a research-validated personality tool, this assessment helps participants identify their DiSC styles and discover how each style brings value to the team.

The Profile 

After taking the assessment, team members receive a detailed, personalized profile that deepens their understanding of self, work style, and others. Your team will also learn how they are performing on each of the behaviors in the Five Behaviors model. These findings will help the team better understand their dynamics and create action plans for areas of improvement.

The Facilitation 

The facilitation experience takes place over a one-day or three-day virtual or in-person training session, led by a trained Five Behaviors expert. This session brings the personalized profile insights to life through powerful breakout activities and group discussions that help the team translate the learnings into impactful everyday practices.

Tools to Continue the Team’s Development 

Because building a cohesive team takes time and continuous effort, your team can continue their learning and development through both the comparison and progress reports. The comparison reports are follow-up reports that emphasize The Five Behaviors® for both individual relationships and team functioning. With the progress report, you’ll be able to see how team performance has changed over time.
