What is the Five Behaviors tool?

What is Five Behaviors?

Five Behaviors is a tool for assessing and developing team dynamics, based on Patrick Lencioni’s model. It explores five essential behaviors for any high-performance team:

  1. Trust (assumed vulnerability between members)
  2. Constructive conflict (dare to debate without fear)
  3. Commitment (clear adherence to decisions)
  4. Mutual responsibility (holding each other accountable)
  5. Results orientation (focus on collective objectives)

Each employee completes an online questionnaire, and the results are analyzed during group or individual workshops led by a certified consultant.
