Corexcel is proud to be an Authorized Partner of The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team. This program is based on the best-selling book "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni.

Introducing the Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™

The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™ 
Assessment & Training Materials

Based on Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

The single most untapped competitive advantage
is teamwork. 

I am so excited to discuss the brand new Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team individual and team assessment & training materials! Based on Patrick Lencioni's New York Times best-selling book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, this Everything DiSC profile provides your team with constructive narrative you can use to improve your culture and increase productivity.

The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team is designed for intact teams. Does your group share the same goals? Rewards? If so, this training program may be the perfect fit! 

The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team was designed to facilitate a learning experience geared toward helping organizations discover what it takes to build and maintain a truly cohesive and effective team. The profile provides both individual and team feedback, and because it is powered by Everything DiSC, you know you're receiving accurate results, constructive narrative, and personalized strategies to success. 

How does it work?

Team Members:

Each team member takes a brief, online assessment. The first portion will focus on them as an individual and the second, on their feelings toward the team. Each team member receives a personalized profile report that highlights their DiSC behavioral style and the team's effectiveness in each of the Five Behaviors.

Facilitator:

Facilitation Kit

The facilitation kit helps a trainer, consultant, or team leader lead the team through the powerful Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team model. Your team will understand and practice the behaviors that will make them a more cohesive unit and improve your team's productivity and performance. It includes 7 modules, customizable handouts, facilitator's guide, podcasts, and PowerPoint presentation with embedded video. Use it right out of the box or customize it to fit your needs.

The Annotated Team Report provides the facilitator with a copy of the team report, but also includes:

• An expanded explanation of profile content
• Scoring interpretation
• Resources for additional information
• Indicators of personalized/tailored content 
• Appendix with ranking across all assessment items

Six to 12 months after completing the program, use the Progress Reports to compare how your team's performance has changed over time. Determine gaps, prompt healthy, honest discussion and create an action plan specifically for them.

DiSC Profiles Training - Types of Learning Styles INFOGRAPHIC

DiSC Profiles Training - Types of Learning Styles

I thought it would be neat to come up with a fun, quick DiSC profiles training infographic to highlight the DiSC types of learning styles. 

The most successful training facilitators know that they need to customize their facilitation style to meet the types of learning styles in their classrooms at any given point. But how can you tell what your learners' DiSC styles are? 

Simple. 

First, use the online DiSC Profile of choice:

• DiSC Classic
• Everything DiSC Workplace
• Everything DiSC Sales
• Everything DiSC Management
• Everything DiSC Work of Leaders
• Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders

Second, have all learners complete said profile, and run a Group Report and a Facilitator Report. The Group Report is perfect to share with the group, while the Facilitator Report is designed to provide the training facilitator with tips on presenting the material to that specific group.

Lastly, review the Facilitator Report along with the Facilitator Kit to review the content and customize it accordingly. 

Enjoy this cheat sheet on the Types of Learning Styles you'll encounter during your training programs!

Everything DiSC® Gets Even Better!

Everything DiSC® Profiles are Now Using Adaptive Testing (AT)

As you know, the very popular Everything DiSC® profiles (including Workplace, Sales, Management, 363 for Leaders and Work of Leaders) have previously used a 79-item assessment to generate personalized Everything DiSC profile reports.

Corexcel is excited to announce that all of the Everything DiSC profiles have been updated to Adaptive Testing (AT) and a new, more advanced, scoring algorithm. Using AT takes the already accurate DiSC system to the next level – providing you with the most precise DiSC style assignment possible.

What is Adaptive Testing (AT)?

AT is commonly used during aptitude tests or trivia games. AT provides the test taker with questions based on their previous questions and answers. This means that participants will not all receive the same survey – your assessment will be as personalized as the Everything DiSC profile itself!

AT testing works great for Everything DiSC because it will determine participants’ results during difficult situations, including:

1. When participants have answered inconsistently throughout the assessment. Meaning, they rated D behavioral styles as both high and low. More investigating needs to be done to determine the right style.
2. When participants score high in two DiSC styles. If a participant scores high in both a D and a C, AT will determine which is the strongest – ensuring your profile is as accurate and as personalized as possible.

What are the benefits of using AT?

The Everything DiSC profile reports will be even more specific to you, since they are collecting more information from your assessment answers. It’s no surprise that implementing the AT system will take the precise, consistent, personalized DiSC profiles to the next level.

Precision – Because the assessment questions adjust to each participant, the results will be more accurate.

Consistency – Using AT ensures that results are not only accurate, but consistent across all participants. 

Personalized Feedback – Because the assessment will be more adaptive to the participant, the profile will be as well, providing an even deeper level of personalized feedback.

After much beta testing, utilizing AT showed a:

• 35%  improvement of reliability scale for people who respond inconsistently,
• 12% increase in accuracy over the 79-item assessment (previously used with Everything DiSC profiles),
• 32% increase in accuracy over DiSC® Classic.

How will this affect the look of my profiles and facilitation materials?

At this time, the only profile reports that have changed are the free Everything DiSC® Supplement for Facilitators reports. Otherwise, nothing has changed. More data simply means a participant’s dot placement will become even more precise, but it isn’t something the average participant will notice.

In the future, the additional data will be used to update the Everything DiSC profiles to make them even more personalized. The next profiles in queue for updating are the Everything DiSC Workplace and Comparison Reports which should be released this year.

If you would like to be notified of updates to your existing Everything DiSC Facilitator’s Kits, make sure you have registered your kit! Contact us for help registering your facilitator’s kit.

If you have any questions regarding the Everything DiSC profiles or other products or courses, please contact us at learn@corexcel.com or 1-888-658-6641 (Monday – Friday, 9am – 5:30pm ET).
