eTACSEN Consulting’s ‘The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team course: Building High-Performance Teams in Competitive Environments
In today’s fiercely competitive business landscape, team cohesion has become a core competitive edge for sustainable enterprise development. However, uniting members from diverse backgrounds and personalities into a collaboratively efficient team remains a universal challenge for managers. Based on Patrick Lencioni’s classic model from ‘The Five Dysfunctions of a Team’, eTACSEN Consulting launches the ‘The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team course, offering scientific frameworks and practical tools to help teams overcome collaboration bottlenecks.
The Five Behaviors: The Underlying Logic for High-Performance Teams
The course revolves around five interconnected behaviors forming a closed-loop collaboration system:
1.Building Trust Through Vulnerability
Team members must openly share limitations and failures to dismantle ‘professional facades’. A tech company’s executive team used the ‘Personal Timeline’ exercise, revealing the CTO’s past career setback. This disclosure shattered the illusion of perfection, leading to a 40% trust improvement and proactive mutual support.
2.Mastering Constructive Conflict
On a foundation of trust, encourage idea-driven debates. A manufacturing R&D team’s ‘Debate Arena’ activity between engineers and marketers on product positioning resulted in a solution balancing technical feasibility and market demand, exceeding sales expectations by 25% post-launch.
3.Achieving Clear Commitments
The ‘Decision Tree’ tool transforms vague consensus into actionable plans. A financial team dissected ‘expanding online business’ into 6 tasks (technology, risk control, operations) with clear owners and deadlines, boosting execution efficiency by 60%.
4.Embracing Mutual Accountability
Implement a ‘Commitment-Tracking-Feedback’ mechanism. A retail team’s ‘Traffic Light Dashboard’ publicly tracked progress, requiring逾期 projects to explain and remediate, improving on-time delivery from 58% to 92%.
5.Focusing on Collective Results
Visualize goals through ‘Achievement Walls’. A medical team broke down annual R&D targets into quarterly milestones with celebration rituals, reducing overtime while increasing critical task completion by 35%.

Course Features: Assessment-Action-Review Closed Loop
1.Scientific Assessment for Precise Diagnosis
Includes Everything DiSC® Assessment generating personalized reports across four dimensions (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness). A multinational team discovered German members skewed ‘C-style’ (detail-oriented but slow) while Chinese members were ‘i-style’ (communicative but impatient). Adjusting decision-making processes (C-style leading planning, i-style coordinating) shortened cycles by 40%.
2.Action-Oriented Learning
Uses ‘real-business scenario simulations + coach feedback’. An internet team simulating ‘product delay crises’ resolved resource conflicts using the ‘Stakeholder Map’ tool, later applying this model to real crises.
3.Sustained Behavior Reinforcement
Post-course quarterly team health assessments and behavior reviews. A logistics company identified declining ‘results focus’ after improving ‘conflict management’, adjusting KPIs to include customer satisfaction, driving 18% revenue growth in six months.
