Individual, Leader, and Team Assessments

5 Behaviors of a Cohesive Team®

The single most untapped competitive advantage is teamwork. To gain this advantage in today’s economy, teams must:

  • Trust one another
  • Engage in Conflict around ideas
  • Commit to decisions
  • Hold one another Accountable
  • Focus on achieving collective Results

Based on the work of Patrick Lencioni’s international best-seller The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team® Powered by Everything DiSC® helps teams apply The Five Behaviors™ model of Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results to drive team effectiveness and productivity. The program uses Everything DiSC, a tool that helps build effective team communication and relationships, to help participants understand their individual DiSC® style and discover how each style brings value to the team.  

A cohesive, high-functioning team:

  • 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
  • And experiences less turnover.

As executive coaches who work at the intersection of business and psychology, Carpenter Smith Consulting is uniquely positioned to bring the 5 Behaviors of a Cohesive Team to life in every organization. We’re certified facilitators of The 5 Behaviors, and we have the expertise to help your team transform into a cohesive, productive team.
