*Note: Participants must attend all three sessions in the series.

This program focuses on making individuals better teammates using the team development process described in Patrick Lencioni’s best-selling book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. Anchored in individual assessments based on the Everything DiSC® model, the Five Behaviors—Personal Development helps individuals better understand and internalize the principles of the Five Behaviors and provides a common language that can be used in organizations. Because the program is designed specifically for individuals, learners do not need to be part of the same team.

Learners will:

• Understand the Five Behaviors model and how it supports team success
• Explore individual tendencies for each of the five behaviors and how those tendencies affect the ability to work in a team setting
• Develop insights that will make them better team members

Why this matters:

As the workplace evolves, so do team dynamics. Now more than ever, individuals need specific skills to work effectively as part of a team. When individuals understand their personal tendencies in a team environment, they are better able to behave and contribute in a way that contributes to cohesiveness and achievement.

Assessment: The Five Behaviors® Personal Development Profile

• This assessment helps individuals understand their key strengths and weaknesses in key team behaviors and highlights how an individual contributes to a cohesive team.
