Optimising Team Effectiveness

How to build effective teams that enjoy working

How do you know whether or not your team is dysfunctional? Sometimes, it’s very obvious. Other times, “organisational blinders” prevent us from seeing what is very apparent to others.


The Five Behaviours Model is used to help team members learn to work together more efficiently and effectively and become a more cohesive team.

The 5 Essential Behaviours for Effective Teams

  1. Are team members genuinely transparent and honest with one another?

  2. Do team members regularly engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas?

  3. Are all team members able to offer opinions and freely debate ideas?

  4. Do team members openly hold one another accountable?

  5. Does the team routinely achieve its desired results?

If you’re not able to confidently answer, “Yes” to these five questions, your work team or teams may benefit from an assessment-based learning experience.
