Strong Teams Start with the Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team

This Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team workshop isn't about blame or diagnosing dysfunction. It's about building the foundations of real collaboration using a proven framework that teams can put to work immediately.

Teams often notice:

  • More honest conversations (with less tension afterwards)

  • Faster alignment and clearer decisions

  • Healthier accountability and follow-through

  • Stronger trust, especially under pressure — because when you know how to build trust in the workplace, everything else gets easier

    Trust. Healthy conflict. Commitment. Accountability.
    Results.

Why Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team

Strong teams don’t happen by accident. They happen by intention.

When teams build trust, they can be honest without defensiveness. The Lencioni model shows us that learning to build trust in the workplace is the foundation everything else rests on. When teams navigate conflict productively, decisions get clearer and momentum increases. Accountability becomes less awkward, and results start to follow naturally.

This workshop gives teams a shared language and practical tools to strengthen how they show up for one another in day-to-day moments.

What This Workshop Covers

Using the Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team assessment and the Lencioni model as our guide, we explore each of the five layers that determine how well a team works together:

  • Trust: Can we be open and honest with each other?

  • Healthy conflict: Can we disagree productively and respectfully?

  • Commitment: Do we leave conversations aligned and clear?

  • Accountability: Are we willing to call each other in when needed?

  • Results: Are we focused on shared goals over individual wins?

The Right Assessment

The Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team assessment gives your team a clear starting point for how to build trust in the workplace and beyond. It provides:

  • A snapshot of strengths and friction points

  • Clear indicators of where collaboration breaks down

  • Practical strategies your team can apply immediatelyTeam Assessment (intact teams): best when the group works together day to day with shared goals and real interdependence.

Which assessment format is right?

  • Team Assessment (intact teams): best when the group works together day to day with shared goals and real interdependence.

  • Personal Assessment (non-intact groups): best for cohorts or groups learning together who don’t function as one day-to-day team.

We’ll confirm the best fit during your Reflection Conversation.

When to Choose the Five Behaviours Workshop

Choose this workshop when:

  • You have an intact team (new or established)

  • You need a shared framework your whole team can use
