The Five Behaviors® Model
Trust one another
When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, it forms a safe environment that creates and builds vulnerability-based trust
Engage in Conflict around ideas
With trust, team members are able to engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas
Commit to decisions
When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they feel heard and respected, and will be more likely to commit to decisions
Hold one another accountable
Once everyone is commited to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable.
Focus on Achieving Collective Results
The ultimate goal is the achievement of results, unlocked through implementing the model’s principles of Trust, Conflict, Commitment and Accountability

“Many SME owners can relate that running a business isn’t easy. Besides taking care of operations, cash flow, and looking out for new opportunities, we still need to look after our teams – ensuring that they are motivated and productive. That’s A LOT of work! Thanks to the wonderful trainers at Lifeskills, we’re on to a great start to building a strong culture. No regrets attending the course. In fact, if you’re looking to scale your team, this course is a MUST-GO, else you may be making a grave mistake!”
“Dear Ian and Lee Fong, Thank you very much for sharing your expertise and facilitating 2 great workshops that have no doubt enhanced the collaboration between the team. It has taught us to embrace our differences and in fact, showed how differences are important so that we are more well balanced and well rounded as a team. Unity in diversity. Looking forward to stronger teamwork and looking forward to when our paths will cross again. With deep and sincere gratitude”
