Focus on Achieving Collective Results
The real win? When we put the team’s success above individual agendas — and move forward together.
Hold Each Other Accountable
True commitment means we don’t let things slide — we respectfully call each other up to the standard we agreed on.
Commit to Shared Decisions
When everyone’s voice is heard, it’s easier to stand behind the final call — even if it wasn’t your idea.
Engage in Conflict Around Ideas
With trust in place, teams can have real conversations challenging ideas, not people to get to the best outcomes.
Trust One Another
The foundation for great teamwork is trust — the kind that comes from being open, honest, and vulnerable with each other.
The Five Behaviors® Workshop
- The Five Behaviors® transforms teams through a powerful and approachable model that drives team effectiveness and productivity.
- The model provides a common language for your teams as they navigate the ever-changing world of work.
- It starts with an assessment that gives team members insight into themselves, their teammates, and how they approach collaboration.
- These insights are then brought to life through a high-impact workshop — delivered virtually or in-person — that addresses the full spectrum of essential team behaviors.
- You can bring this solution to your organization through two paths:
- The Personal Development solution which helps individuals learn the skills they need to “team” effectively on any team and build a culture of teamwork, or
- The Team Development solution which helps intact teams gain the know-how to work better together.

Why organizations choose The
Five Behaviors®
Backed by years of research, the model has been used for more
than 20 years to help teams rethink their approach to teamwork.
89% of The Five Behaviors learners say it improved their team’s effectiveness.
With more than 3.2 million copies in print, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team is a cornerstone methodology for teamwork and organizational development.
The model lays out a simple and sound framework for how team members should show up across the organization.
It helps teams tackle the real root causes of dysfunction not just the symptoms leading to long-term, sustainable performance.
It fuels a culture of accountability and shared ownership, where teams consistently deliver on goals without relying on top-down enforcement.
Facilitates psychologically safe environments where openness, feedback, and collaboration become the norm not the exception.
Who would this ideally be suitable for?
Great teamwork isn’t just powerful — it’s rare. And too few organizations treat it as a skill that needs to be learned and mastered.
This program is ideal for:
- Individuals looking to improve how they “team” with others, across any group or project.
- Intact teams aiming to build deeper trust, communicate more openly, and align on shared goals.
- Senior leadership teams seeking to build deep connections, operate with greater alignment, and track progress over time. (Note: This journey requires a brave leader willing to be open and vulnerable. It’s not for the faint-hearted.)

FocusU has always made learning interesting. Topics are converted into activities and the learning from the activities are then discussed - which makes us relate to it in real time. The best part is there is no PPT and the team is always takes inputs for discussion. A facilitator is definitely more knowledgeable than the people who attend the training. The key is how you hold your intelligence within yourself and get down to the level of attendees.

We needed a competent, experienced, confident and flexible partner and FocusU performed with excellence. It was not easy to keep a group of highly experienced doctors and seasoned professionals engaged. FocusU team did a great job navigating the group with confidence. We all enjoyed and therefore learned through the process with lots of laughter, fun and new insights.

The Leadership workshop helped all of us to take a step back and analyse ourselves on the kind of leadership traits we have and that we don’t have. How we could all become better leaders and help others grow along with us.

FocusU was a simple Google search for me. Having said that, there were other training firms whose details also showed up. But right from the time that I established my first contact with them, there has not been an instance where I had to follow up with their team. Extremely proactive, understand their clients needs and the best part - they customize the training requirements really well!

Thank you for an excellent senior management intervention (AGM – AVP level) using the Leadership Challenge construct. The program aimed to develop leaders embodying our brand. The intervention included conducting a diagnostic and designing the workshop to suit the need of the target audience, which FocusU did impeccably.
