What do you do when your patients are happy…but your hospital staff isn’t?

A healthcare leader at one of “America’s 50 Best Hospitals” turns to The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team to transform a diverse department into a healthy team. Read the success story of this Fort Myers hospital.

When the members of the leadership team began the workshop, 'they didn't think of themselves as a team, but rather as leaders of separate shifts and specialties who simply reported to the same person.'

To gain this advantage, teams must:

Trust One Another – When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, they are able to build vulnerability-based trust.

Engage in Conflict Around Ideas – When there is trust, team members are able to engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas.

Commit to Decisions – When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they will be more likely to commit to decisions.

Hold One Another Accountable – When everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable.

Focus on Achieving Collective Results – The ultimate goal of building greater trust, conflict, commitment, and accountability is one thing: the achievement of results.

What does this program do?

The program helps teams understand how, as a team, they score on the key components of The Five Behaviors model: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results. Each individual on the team will also understand their own personality style and their team members styles, based on the DiSC® model: D: Dominance, i: Influence, S: Steadiness, and C: Conscientiousness, and how their style contributes to the team’s overall success.

Who is it for?

The program is designed exclusively for intact teams and work groups. The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team harnesses the power of Everything DiSC and the clarity and simplicity of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team model.

How does it work?

The Five Behaviors Model is used to help team members learn to work together more efficiently and effectively and become a more cohesive team. A productive, high-functioning team:

Makes better, faster decisions
Taps into the skills and opinions of all members
Avoids wasting time and energy on politics, confusion, and destructive conflict
Avoids wasting time talking about the wrong issues and revisiting the same topics over and over again because of a lack of buy-in
Creates a competitive advantage
Is more fun to be on!
