- The Five Behaviors

Want to build Trust?
Share one personal challenge you’ve had in your life with a coworker that may help them to understand you better. The foundation of any effective team is about vulnerability-based trust.
Want to embrace Conflict?
Push back on a decision you aren’t aligned with. Conflict is all about addressing issues head-on to help your team succeed in the long run.
Want to inspire Commitment?
As a team, end your next meeting with writing down what you agree upon—restating it ensures alignment, and writing it down is a form of commitment.
Want to foster Accountability?
If a project gets stalled with a coworker, tactfully address it and ask if they need help. It’s essential to hold the team accountable by staying on track to hit goals.
Want to drive Results?
Assess and write down what worked in getting your team to its most recent win. Remember to look back on this periodically so you can achieve future goals with confidence.
