Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team: Personal Development
The Five Behaviours program is to facilitate a learning experience that helps everyone – at every level, in any role – develop a rich understanding of how his or her behaviours affect the team. It applies the principles of The Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team, based on Patrick Lencioni’s best-selling book “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team”, to unlock actionable ways to optimize an individual’s contribution to a team.
As part of the The Five Behaviours program each participant completes their own research-validated online assessment, receives a 23-page workplace specific personal profile report and attends an online workshop.

Ongoing Events
Leadership Course:
Managing at UBCO
This nine-month program has been designed to challenge leaders at all levels to be their very best. Based on a leadership model that starts with the idea that the act of managing requires an understanding of both management and leadership and a dual focus on tasks and people, this program includes assessments, coaching, workshops and peer learning triads.
To qualify to join the next cohort, as an M&P or Librarian you must have staff supervisory and budgetary responsibility, and have the full support of your AVP or Director, as they will be working with you on an action-learning project consistent with your learning goals.
For more information on the program, please contact Gillian Henderson at 250-807-8618.
