Five Behaviors®
Building the trust, accountability, and collaboration teams need to perform at their best.
Strong teams are built intentionally, one conversation and one behavior at a time.
Five Behaviors® combines Patrick Lencioni’s proven model of team effectiveness with the personalized insights of Everything DiSC®. At The Conversations That Matter, we use Five Behaviors to help teams understand how their individual styles influence team dynamics and how trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results come to life in everyday work.
This program focuses on how teams show up together.
WHAT IS EVERYTHING DiSC® FIVE BEHAVIORS®?
A team-based approach to performance and trust
Five Behaviors® is a research-based team development experience designed to help teams improve how they work together. By combining Everything DiSC® insights with these behaviors, teams gain a deeper understanding of how individual styles influence team effectiveness.
It focuses on five critical behaviors of high-performing teams:
Trust
Conflict
Commitment
Accountability
Results
HOW WE USE FIVE BEHAVIORS WITH TEAMS
From awareness to collective action
At TCTM, we use Five Behaviors® to help teams move beyond surface-level collaboration and into real alignment.
Through facilitated experiences, teams learn how to:
Build trust through openness and self-awareness
Engage in productive conflict without personal tension
Clarify expectations and decisions
Hold one another accountable respectfully
Focus on shared goals and results
The work is practical, reflective, and grounded in real team dynamics, not theory alone.
It pairs well with:
- Leadership Development Programs
- Manager Essentials (Manager Training)
- Leadership Coaching
- Everything DiSC® Workplace or Agile EQ
How the Five Behaviors® works
It’s a facilitated, team-centered process that walks through:
Team Assessment
Team members complete the Five Behaviors® assessment.
Facilitated Team Experience
We guide the team through interactive discussions, reflection, and application using real team scenarios.
Alignment & Action
Teams identify shared commitments and behaviors they will practice moving forward.
When you combine Five Behaviors® with Leadership and team development, you build stronger teams that lead and deliver true results.
Who is Five Behaviors ® for?
Best for intact teams ready to grow together. It is especially powerful for teams that want to strengthen trust and accountability, not just skills.
Five Behaviors® program is ideal for:
- Intact teams
- Leadership teams
- Executive teams
- Cross-functional teams
- Teams experiencing change or challenge
- Organizations focused on team performance
What teams will learn
Behaviors that strengthen performance
Using Five Behaviors®, teams gain insight into:
- How individual communication styles impact trust
- Why conflict feels uncomfortable — and how to navigate it
- How to move from discussion to commitment
- What accountability looks like on their team
- How to stay focused on results instead of silos
Teams leave with shared language, clearer expectations, and a stronger sense of responsibility to one another.
Because performance depends on how teams work together, Five Behaviors is important
Teams that develop the Five Behaviors often experience:
Higher levels of trust
More open and productive conversations
Clearer decision-making
Stronger follow-through
Healthier accountability
Greater focus on collective results
This work creates alignment at the team level — where performance is most influenced.
A cohesive, team-centered approach
When teams understand each other, everything changes
Participants will discover how they can each influence, empower, and adapt to be more effective as peers, managers, and leaders.
We help you build a cohesive team by first focusing on individual communication styles. Your team members will evolve to trust, collaborate, and lean on each other, and, in turn, effectively build the business together.
Our Everything DiSC® Train-the-Trainer program prepares you to facilitate the open, candid, and strategic conversations that teams need to perform at their highest level. For teams to grow and excel, they require dedicated time together. Team members desire a sense of freedom, creativity, and the willingness to explore ideas together. This all opens the door for rich learning, growth, and development.
The key is creating a tight, singular team approach to team development. We will focus on the team’s expectations at a behavioral level, so each person understands both the rationale plus the emotional reasoning built into human psychology. Essentially, how we innately think and behave is part of the overall experience and foundation for building more effective relationships at work.
Appropriately, at the center of the Everything DiSC® Train-the-Trainer program are the modules: Understanding Self and Others and How to Build Effective Working Relationships.
