The Five Behaviors™ Personal Development

Strengthen your teamwork with the Five Behaviors™ Personal Development solution for a cohesive team.

Becoming an Effective Team Member

The Five Behaviors Personal Development

Effective teamwork does not start with team training—there is no other way but the transformation of individual behavior. The Five Behaviors Personal Development provides everyone on all levels with the mindset and skillset to be better team members and drive a united team culture.

Today, L&D and HR leaders are confronted by a shared problem in which teams do not work because employees don’t possess the basic skills to work together, argue constructively, take responsibility, and remain aligned.

The Five Behaviors Personal Development program assists individuals in developing trust, encouraging communication, adopting accountability, and pledging to collective success — guaranteeing that they become a positive force within any team they join, now and in the future.

The Need for the Solution

Today’s organizations are working beyond a single team. Advances in technology are disrupting the market, globalization is forcing a new approach of working, and the teams of the future have never seen this level of diversity. In essence, organizations need to equip their employees to quickly create cohesive teams that enable results. The idea was to create a model that harnesses the power of Patrick Lencioni’s The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and adjust it to benefit the individual, who can then disperse the key takeaways throughout their organization.

What does this program do?

This is a tool to help individuals better understand, internalize, and apply the principles of The Five Behaviors model and to foster communication that can be used throughout an organization. It’s designed to be delivered in a classroom setting of up to 30 participants, regardless of how well they know one another.

Frequently asked questions

What is The Five Behaviors Personal Development and how is it different from team-based programs?

The Five Behaviors Personal Development is an individual learning journey that is designed to foster core competencies and behaviors needed to become part of a cohesive team. Unlike intact team workshops, which feature participants from a single team, this solution develops individuals first-so they can carry the right collaborative behaviors into any team they might join.

This solution is utilized by organizations when they want to ensure the foundation of solid team behavior among employees is developed prior to investing in a full team transformation program. It prepares the individual to be a better team member and, in turn, enables intact and project teams to function better and get results more quickly.

How does the Five Behaviors Personal Development profile improve team culture and business performance?

This program is a strategic enabler of team culture transformation for HR and L&D leaders. It addresses the root-cause behavior issues that generally slow organizations down, namely: silos, unclear ownership, passive communication, and avoidance of conflict. This is an experience that includes a research-backed assessment, personalized insights, and interactive learning to drive lasting behavior change. Participants will receive:

A computer-adaptive Five Behaviors Personal Development profile report

One-on-one comparison reports to understand how to collaborate with different styles

Behaviour implementation aids to support learning post-session

How long after implementing The Five Behaviors Personal Development will organizations notice results?

Most organizations begin to realize positive shifts in behavior within weeks. In a short time after their Five Behaviors Personal Development profile and workshop experience, individuals start applying new approaches to communication, conflict resolution, and accountability.

The short-term results generally include more open conversations, fewer unresolved issues, and better collaboration across teams. As more employees go through the program, organizations see broader culture change: aligned behaviors, shared language, and a scalable model to build cohesive teams.

Who should attend The Five Behaviors Personal Development program?

The Five Behaviors Personal Development program is ideal for anyone who works in a team-based, collaborative, or cross-functional environment. It is especially beneficial for employees who need to influence without authority, navigate hybrid/remote work, or build stronger interpersonal skills.

This program is highly recommended for:

Early-career professionals who need a strong foundation in collaboration and communication
Individual contributors who want to improve teamwork skills
First-time managers who need to learn how to lead through influence and contribution
Members of cross-functional or agile project teams
Employees transitioning into new teams or organizations

What support is available for sustaining behavior change after the Five Behaviors Personal Development session?

Sustainment is a core part of the program design. Beyond the workshop, participants receive personalized tools, one-on-one comparison insights, and practical aids to reinforce real-world application. Organizations are encouraged to incorporate post-session activities to maximize long-term impact, such as:

Monthly team or peer check-ins to review progress on behavior commitments
Manager-led micro-conversations to encourage practice of learned behaviors
Reinforcement exercises, reflection prompts, and follow-up assignments
Learning circles or coaching groups to share success stories and challenges

Many companies pair this program with internal mentoring, buddy systems, or manager coaching to ensure continuous reinforcement.
