In the modern workplace, team members must navigate an environment that is in constant flux. That’s no easy task, and employees must be flexible, socially adept, and relationship-savvy in order to navigate interpersonal challenges and achieve collective gains within and across their teams.
But solid teamwork doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s not necessarily an innate skill. Teamwork must be developed and practiced—and it requires the right framework in order to thrive.
What Is The Five Behaviors® Personal Development?
The Five Behaviors® Personal Development is the result of a partnership between Wiley and best-selling author Patrick Lencioni. This solution teaches individuals to become better teammates by integrating the model from Lencioni’s book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, at the organizational level.
This powerful virtual or in-person experience assesses an individual’s approach to teamwork, provides personalized insights on how they can more effectively work with others, and teaches participants the critical behaviors and interpersonal skills needed to work together effectively.
The result is a unique and impactful team development solution that empowers individuals to rethink their approach to teamwork, shape new, more productive behaviors to increase productivity, and create a common language that completely redefines what it means to work together to build a culture of teamwork.
How Does The Five Behaviors® Personal Development Work?
Patrick Lencioni, a thought-leader on effective teamwork and collaboration, introduced his powerful and approachable model nearly 20 years ago. Lencioni’s model was then adapted by Wiley into a scalable training solution that brings this engaging, personalized learning experience to life. Below is a breakdown of how The Five Behaviors® Personal Development works.
The Model
The Five Behaviors model takes the form of a pyramid, with each behavior serving as a foundation for the next. Simple, sound, and straightforward—you can’t have one behavior without the others in place to support it first.
The Assessment
The Five Behaviors offers adaptive, research-validated testing through a personality assessment.
The Profile
After taking the assessment, participants receive a precise, personalized profile that deepens their understanding of self, work style, and others in their organization.
The Facilitation
The experience is completed through a half-day training session, led by a trained Five Behaviors expert. This session includes a walkthrough of the Personal Development profile, breakout activities, and group discussion.
