Unlike The Five Behaviors® Team Development program, Personal Development is focused more on an individual basis. Participants are not required to be on an intact team that has already worked together for at least six weeks.

Unlock Personal and Team Potential    

The Five Behaviors® Personal Development Assessment & Profile is designed to revolutionize the interplay between individual strengths and team dynamics. Based on Patrick Lencioni's renowned book, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team," this assessment uncovers the underlying facets of one's personality that influence team interactions and maps out a pathway for personal and collective growth.

Facilitation Success: The Key to Lasting Impact

Effective facilitation is the cornerstone of meaningful change, driving team development, leadership growth, and organizational transformation. Whether you’re considering an internal, external, or hybrid facilitation approach, the success of any initiative hinges on the right strategy and the facilitator’s ability to create engagement, foster collaboration, and guide teams toward actionable outcomes. Choosing the most suitable facilitation model is more than logistics; it’s about aligning resources with your goals for maximum impact.

Equally important is the caliber of the facilitator. A successful facilitator combines several attributes, including emotional intelligence, strong communication skills, and adaptability, with specific experience and competencies in tools like Everything DiSC® or The Five Behaviors®. By understanding the roles and requirements for success, you can empower facilitators to drive transformative results, no matter the scope or complexity of your goals.

External Facilitators

Using External Facilitators

PROS/Benefits vs. CONS/Risksand Best Practices

PROS/Benefits

Fresh Perspectives and Expertise

External facilitators bring new ideas, approaches, and industry insights that internal employees might not be exposed to, potentially driving innovation and improvement. 

Objectivity and Neutrality

Being independent, external facilitators provide unbiased guidance and can manage sensitive topics neutrally, which is beneficial in complex team dynamics or organizational changes.

High-Level Specialization and Experience

They often have specialized skills and experience in facilitating challenging or particular topics, having worked across different organizations and settings.

Enhanced Credibility

The involvement of external experts can enhance the perceived credibility of Everything DiSC programs, especially on complex subjects where external validation is essential.

 

CONS/Risks

Higher Costs

Hiring external facilitators can be more expensive than internal facilitators, mainly if travel or premium rates apply. Regular external training sessions significantly increase training budgets.

Less Organizational Familiarity

External facilitators may require more time to understand the organization's culture and dynamics, which could impact the effectiveness and relevance of training.

Possible Disconnect

There is a risk that external facilitators might not fully align with the company's values or the specific nuances of its internal processes, potentially leading to recommendations that are not feasible or well-suited to the organization's actual operating environment.

Dependency

Relying on external facilitators might create a dependency, where the organization feels unable to handle training and development internally, which might affect long-term capacity building.

 

Best Practices

Clearly Define Objectives

Ensure that the goals and expected outcomes of the training are clearly defined and communicated to the external facilitator.

Regular Feedback

Establish a system for regular feedback and check-ins during the training process to ensure alignment and promptly address any emerging issues.

Confidentiality Agreements

Implement strong confidentiality agreements to protect sensitive information and maintain trust.

Provide Comprehensive Briefings

The external facilitator should be thoroughly briefed on the organization's culture, values, and specific needs to tailor the training effectively.

Integration Plans

Develop a plan for integrating the insights and strategies introduced by the external facilitator into ongoing internal practices to ensure sustained impact.

 

Internal Facilitators

A Hybrid of Internal & External Facilitators

Facilitators play a vital role in shaping leadership effectiveness and organizational culture by developing communication, problem-solving, and conflict-resolution skills. Continuous professional development is crucial for staying updated on facilitation trends and best practices.

Anticipating challenges, fostering open communication, and seeking advice from experienced facilitators like Symphony 100 can enhance facilitation processes and decision-making, leading to organizational success.

Key Attributes for Effective Facilitation

Strategic Thinking

A deep understanding of business strategy development and implementation is essential for guiding leaders in crafting strategic visions.

Visionary Leadership

Visionary leadership requires guiding leaders in articulating a clear vision and rallying the organization around it.

Change Management

Skills in leading organizational change and ensuring effective execution are vital for helping leaders navigate through transformations.
