Turn The Five Behaviors® profiles into better team conversations
Your team’s profiles show how it really works together. An experienced facilitator helps you turn those results into an honest conversation, clear decisions and actions people own – virtually or in person.
Sessions range from a 60-minute preparation session to half-day and full-day team workshops. Tell us about your team and we’ll confirm a clear price before you commit to anything; profiles are priced separately unless bundled, and in-person travel is agreed in advance.

When does facilitation help?
Reading a report is one thing; acting on it as a team is another. A skilled facilitator makes specific contributions that are hard to make from inside the team:
Surfacing difficult issues
Brings the uncomfortable parts of the results into the open – the topics people avoid in normal meetings – in a way that keeps the discussion safe and useful.
Constructive challenge
Questions easy assumptions and polite agreement, so the team debates ideas properly rather than settling for artificial harmony.
Letting the leader take part
With someone neutral running the session, the team leader can contribute as a member of the team instead of chairing a conversation that is partly about them.
Resolving different interpretations
People often read the same results differently. A facilitator helps the team test those readings against real examples and reach a shared understanding.
Reaching decisions
Keeps the discussion moving towards clear choices about what the team will change, rather than circling the results without landing anywhere.
Creating owned actions
Turns decisions into a short list of specific actions with named owners and a way of checking progress – so the work continues after the session.
Facilitation is particularly worth considering for new, merged or newly led teams, or where the results are likely to be sensitive. What changes afterwards still depends on the team’s own follow-through.
From The Five Dysfunctions of a Team to your team’s workshop
Many people first meet the model in Patrick Lencioni’s best-selling book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, which has sold millions of copies. Wiley developed The Five Behaviours in partnership with Lencioni, turning the model into assessments that give each team its own results on Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results.
Our workshops use The Five Behaviours solution, developed by Wiley – the profiles your team completes and the model behind them. They are not The Table Group’s own programme. Mission Group is an Authorised Partner for The Five Behaviors®.

Who facilitates your session?
Sessions are delivered by Mission Group, which has worked with The Five Behaviours since it launched in 2014. Our facilitators include Mission Group’s directors, Paul Barnard and Justin McKeown. We’ll confirm who is facilitating your session when we agree the booking, depending on dates, format and location.

An award-winning executive and team coach, facilitator and board adviser with more than 20 years’ experience. Paul coaches senior leaders on leadership, team effectiveness and communication, and has worked with CEOs and senior executives at organisations including Boeing, the Cabinet Office, Fidelity International and the United Nations.
Justin McKeown FCIPR

Should your session be virtual or in person?
Facilitation is available in whichever format suits your team, your budget and where people are based.
Virtual sessions
Delivered over video call, with shared screens, breakout rooms and digital workspaces where useful. A practical option for distributed or hybrid teams, shorter sessions, or as a lower-cost way to get started.
In-person sessions
Delivered at your offices or an external venue you choose. Better suited to half-day and full-day sessions where a team benefits from being in the room together, away from day-to-day distractions. Travel and, where applicable, venue costs are agreed with you in advance.
What a virtual session looks like
Everyone joins from wherever they’re based. The facilitator shares the team’s results, runs breakout discussions and short exercises, and captures agreed actions on screen as you go – so the whole team leaves with the same record of what was decided.
What an in-person session looks like
The team meets around one table, at your offices or a venue you choose. The session is tailored to your team: a short grounding in the model, then guided discussion of what the team’s own results show.
Practical exercises help people put real issues on the table and work through them together. The session closes with decisions and agreed actions that the team owns – written up so everyone leaves with the same plan.
Facilitation options
Standard Five Behaviours sessions for one team, delivered in the UK. The price of a team session depends on team size, format and how much preparation and follow-up it needs – contact us for pricing and we’ll confirm a clear price before you commit to anything. Profiles are priced and purchased separately (see Team Development and Personal Development) unless explicitly bundled, as in the programme below.
Facilitator preparation session
60 minutes, virtual. A working session with the team leader or sponsor to plan the main session around your team’s actual results and priorities.
£295 + VAT
£354 inc VAT
Virtual team session
90 minutes, virtual. A focused session to walk the team through their Team Development results and agree initial actions.
Half-day facilitated session
A half-day session with one team – around 3.5–4 hours, virtual or in person. Time to work through the full model in more depth, with discussion, exercises and action planning.
Full-day facilitated session
A full-day session with one team, typically in person. The fullest treatment of the model, with room for deeper conflict and accountability work and a concrete action plan.
Progress Report follow-up
90 minutes, virtual. Revisit the team some months on, using a Progress Report where eligible, to check what’s changed and reset actions.
What a session covers
Every session includes planning it around your team as well as delivering it. Profiles aren’t included – they’re bought separately unless bundled. For in-person sessions, travel and any venue costs are agreed with you in advance.
Planning something bigger – a senior leadership team, several sessions or delivery outside the UK? Contact us for a tailored quote.
Leadership Team Cohesion Programme
For leadership teams that want more than a single session – a short programme that combines profiles, facilitation and a later check-in.
Leadership Team Cohesion Programme
- Up to 10 Team Development profiles
- Pre-programme consultation with the team leader or sponsor
- One full-day facilitated session
- Facilitator report and team analysis
- 90-day Progress Report, subject to product eligibility
- 90-minute virtual follow-up session
This programme is deliberately enquiry-led rather than a fixed online package: final scope, dates, travel and team readiness need a short conversation before we can confirm a price. There’s no self-serve buy button for it – get in touch and we’ll come back with a proposal.

Good signs you’re ready
- Your team is intact – people genuinely work together day to day.
- Everyone has completed (or is about to complete) their profile.
- The team leader is willing to be part of the conversation, not just observe it.
- You can protect real time for the session, free of other distractions.
- There’s an appetite to agree actions, not just discuss the results once.
Start with profiles first if…
- You’re not yet sure whether you need Team or Personal Development.
- You want to see the report content before committing to a session – see the sample reports first.
- Your group isn’t an intact team, so Personal Development profiles are the better fit.
- Budget or timing means profiles now, facilitation later, makes more sense.
Example half-day agenda
Every session is tailored to your team’s actual results and objectives. This is a typical shape for a half-day, in-depth session – not a fixed script.
-
Welcome and objectives
Ground rules, confidentiality, and what the team wants to get out of the session.
-
The model in context
A short recap of Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results, framed around this team rather than the model in the abstract.
-
Team findings
Guided discussion and practical exercises on the team’s results – where trust is strong, where conflict is avoided or unproductive, and what that’s costing the team.
-
Commitment and accountability
Turning discussion into a small number of specific commitments the team is prepared to hold each other to.
-
Action plan and next steps
Agreeing what happens next and who owns it – and, where relevant, planning a Progress Report follow-up to check in later.
Ready to talk facilitation?
Tell us a bit about your team – size, format preference and rough timing – and we’ll come back with options and a firm price. There’s no obligation, and no pressure to add facilitation if profiles alone are the right starting point for you.
Just need profiles? Buy online
Facilitation is entirely optional. If you already know your team needs Team Development or Personal Development profiles, you can order them directly – no enquiry required.
Facilitation FAQs
Do I need a facilitator to use The Five Behaviours profiles?
No. Facilitation is optional – many teams buy Team Development or Personal Development profiles and work through the reports themselves. A facilitator helps when a team wants support turning results into an open conversation, clear decisions and agreed actions.
How do I get a price for a Five Behaviours team workshop?
Contact us for a tailored quote. The price depends on session length, format, number of participants and any travel involved, so tell us a little about your team and we’ll confirm a clear price before you commit to anything.
Are profiles included in the facilitation price?
No. Profiles are priced and purchased separately unless explicitly bundled. The Leadership Team Cohesion Programme is the exception – it includes up to 10 Team Development profiles, and we quote for it individually.
Can sessions be delivered virtually or in person?
Yes. Virtual sessions run over video call and suit distributed or hybrid teams and shorter sessions. In-person sessions take place at your offices or a venue you choose, and suit half-day and full-day work; travel and any venue costs are agreed with you in advance.
Is this The Table Group’s Five Dysfunctions programme?
No. Our workshops use The Five Behaviours solution from Wiley, which was developed in partnership with Patrick Lencioni and is based on his book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. We don’t deliver The Table Group’s own programmes or assessment. See how the book and the profiles connect.
How do I book a facilitated session?
Email info@missiongroup.org or call +44 (0)20 7043 3422 with your team size, preferred format and rough timing. We’ll come back with options and a firm price, and confirm who’s facilitating as part of agreeing the booking.
