  • Trust one another

  • Engage in Conflict around ideas

What does this program do?

The program helps teams understand how they score on the key components of The Five Behaviors model: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results. Individual team members will learn about their own personality style and the styles of their team members—based on the Everything DiSC® model—and how their style contributes to the team’s overall success.

A productive, 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

  • Is more fun to be on!
