The way we work keeps changing. The need to work together doesn’t.

Over the past several years there has been a dramatic change in when, where, and how we work. What hasn’t changed is the need for people to work together to achieve shared goals — and the need for organizations to get things done through the power of teams.

In this session, Christa Kirby looks at the behaviors that undermine productivity and erode trust, and contrasts them with the ones that build accountability and connection. The vehicle is The Five Behaviors® model: a globally validated framework designed to challenge teams to rethink their approach when working together.

What You’ll Learn

In this webinar, we’ll explore:

  • A globally validated framework designed to challenge teams to rethink their approach when working together
  • A high-level overview of The Five Behaviors® model and how it can work for you
  • The behaviors that undermine productivity and erode trust — and the ones that build accountability and connection
  • Insights that you can apply to your own teams and organization

Five layers, and the order matters

1Building trust — the vulnerability-based kind, where people admit what they don’t know
2Generating productive conflict — because silence in a meeting is a warning sign, not agreement
3Achieving commitment — decisions people argued with openly get more support
4Embracing accountability — peers holding each other to what was agreed
5Focusing on results — collective outcomes over individual standing

Each layer only holds if the one beneath it does.
