The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team Workshop in Olympia, Washington

1. TRUST One Another

When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, they can build vulnerability-based trust.

2. Engage in Productive CONFLICT Around Ideas

When there is trust, team members can engage in an unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas and the best solutions come forth.

3. COMMIT to Decisions

When team members can offer opinions and debate ideas, they will be more likely to commit to decisions and action plans. Teams learn how to “disagree, yet still commit” to moving forward.

4. Hold One Another ACCOUNTABLE

When everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, and there is group “buy-in” to the strategic direction and goals, team members will be more willing to hold one another accountable for delivering against those plans.

5. Focus on Achieving Collective RESULTS

The ultimate goal of building greater trust, mastering conflict, gaining commitment, and embracing accountability is one thing: the achievement of collective results.
