About Creating a Cohesive Multicultural Team

Creating a Cohesive Multicultural Team combines The Five Behaviors® with cross-cultural leadership models. Developed in Partnership with Patrick Lencioni, based on his international bestseller, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Five Behaviors® transforms teams through a powerful and approachable model that drives team effectiveness and productivity. 89% of The Five Behaviors learners say it improved their team’s effectiveness. Creating a Cohesive Multicultural Team explores how culture affects every step of the Lencioni model. The goal is to completely redefine teamwork and collaboration in international teams.

The Creating a Cohesive Multicultural Team Course was designed specifically to work for individuals; participants do not all need to be part of the same team. Rather, participants can carry the takeaways of this program from one team to the next, enabling a culture of teamwork. Learners at all levels of an organization can benefit from this program and adopt its powerful principles, shape behaviors, and create a common language that empowers people to rewrite what it means to work together.

The Five Behaviors takes the form of a pyramid, with each behavior serving as a foundation for the next. Simple, sound, and straightforward— this model challenges teams to rethink their approach when working together. The Five Behaviors model focuses on building skills and understanding in the areas of Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results which provides a common language for your teams as they navigate the ever-changing world of work.

When teams start with a foundation of vulnerability-based trust, they can be genuinely transparent and honest with one another. From this foundation, team members can channel the power of productive conflict and debate, commit to shared goals, hold each other accountable, and deliver better results—together. At each step of the pyramid, national culture and organizational culture play a role. The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Multicultural Team works with the Five Behaviors model while considering how Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results may be impacted by the culture(s) of those on the team.
