SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wiley's workplace
learning solutions group has partnered with Patrick Lencioni, the best-selling author of
more than 10 books and one of the most sought after business
speakers in America, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The result of the collaboration is a new tool designed to help
organizations with their single most untapped competitive
advantage: teamwork. The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™,
is an assessment-based facilitation tool and program designed to
help professionals and their organizations build cohesive,
effective teams.
"We know that employee engagement, workplace learning, and
business outcomes are hot topics in HR and organizational
development circles," said Barry
Davis, Vice-President and General Manager at Wiley. "As part
of that, we believe that this is the new model for helping
organizations apply what the best minds in business have to teach
us about how to run better, more effective organizations," said
Davis.
The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™ is an
assessment-based learning program that outlines the essential
behaviors to a healthy, well-functioning team: building trust,
mastering conflict, achieving commitment, embracing accountability,
and focusing on results.
The model was first introduced by Patrick Lencioni, in his best-selling book,
"The Five Dysfunctions Of a Team," and has been embraced by
organizations of all sizes, from multinational corporations, small
businesses, professional sports organizations, houses of worship,
and non-profits. Ninety-seven percent of people who have used the
model said it will help their team perform better.
In its new iteration as an assessment-based learning model
powered by Everything DiSC®, The Five Behaviors of a
Cohesive Team™, offers both a team assessment and individual
assessment. This combination of actionable, often eye-opening data
on the workings of the entire team and each individual, positions
teams to more quickly identify and address problems.
The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™ is now available
through a global network of authorized facilitators, coaches and
consultants. Learn more at www.fivebehaviors.com.
