Content alone doesn't change behavior. The course builds the skill, COHESIONindex™ measures where your team stands and re-measures the shift, and the action plan turns it into daily reps in the real work — each piece reinforcing the next, until what your leaders learn becomes how they lead.

Action plan4-day streak
Surface one thing slowing the team in every standup.
90 days, in the real work
Hours of learning, not weeks of meetings — the change happens in the 90 days after.
What your team walks away with
An honest, shared read on where the team actually stands.
Shared language for both the Cohesion and the Work systems.
A COHESIONindex™ baseline you measure, then move.
Who it's for
Does any of this sound familiar?
The team looks fine but keeps underdelivering.
What people say in the room differs from the hallway.
You can’t name what is actually slowing the team.
The same friction shows up sprint after sprint.
Surveys say “healthy” while results say otherwise.
You can’t measure whether the team is improving.
If you're nodding, this skill is for you.

Team Cohesion & Performance™
The model.
It reads a team across two systems — how it feels and how it works — to surface where performance is actually leaking.
Developed by Dr. Timothy R. Clark.
The agenda
What you'll cover.
01
Foundation — what team cohesion actually is
Define cohesion as a multidimensional system and see why the gap between self-perception and the team's experience is where leadership begins.
02
Assessment — taking the COHESIONindex™
Complete the team-level assessment and learn how it is scored, how multirater feedback works, and how to read the results.
03
The cohesion system — social and task
Build the interpersonal foundation of trust and support, then create shared clarity on goals, roles, and how the work fits together.
04
The cohesion system — identity and commitment
Strengthen belonging and shared purpose, then the voluntary choice to stay, persist, and give discretionary effort.
05
The work system — inputs, process, outputs
Read the conditions the team starts with, how it actually operates, and the results it produces — the operating system, not the org chart.
06
Action planning — closing the biggest gap first
Turn the results into a 30-60-90 day plan, choose the behavioral practices to apply in the flow of work, and set up a re-measure.
Every cohort takes COHESIONindex™ as a baseline and again after — self and external — so you can see the behavior change by dimension, not just course completions.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask.
How is this different from a team-building offsite or a workshop we could build ourselves?
An offsite is an event; this is a system. It runs on a proprietary framework, the Seven Drivers of Team Performance, pairs it with a team-level assessment, and focuses on the everyday behaviors that move cohesion and work — not a one-day morale bump.
How is this different from our LMS or content library?
Content alone rarely changes behavior. This is assessment-integrated and cohort-based, with application built into the flow of work, so you are measuring behavior change rather than course completions.
How do we know it will stick?
The mechanism is measurement, not a promise. The team takes the COHESIONindex™ to set a baseline, applies the behavioral practices in real work, and re-measures — so you can see what actually moved and where to focus next.
Can we run it ourselves?
Yes. There is a facilitator certification path so your internal facilitators can deliver the solution to teams across the organization rather than depending on outside delivery for every cohort.
How does it scale, and how does it fit our admin and systems?
It can be delivered live-virtual, on-demand, or in person. The assessment and cohorts run on leaderfactor.app, with org-level reporting so administrators can see participation and results across teams.
