The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™

The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™ has a simple goal: to facilitate a learning experience that helps organisations discover what it takes to build a truly cohesive and effective team.

The programme is designed to identify the root causes of politics and dysfunction on the teams where you work, and the keys to overcoming them.

Bringing together everyone’s personalities and preferences to form a cohesive, productive team takes work, but the payoff can be huge—for individuals, the team, and the organisation.

Typical characteristics of a productive, high-functioning team include:

Makes better, faster decisions
Are comfortable asking for help, admitting mistakes and limitations and take risks offering feedback
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
Retain the best people
Align the team around common objectives
Is more fun to be on!
