Lead a Visioning Session
Using six full-color, wall-sized Graphic Guides® (see page 4), lead your organization through a visioning cycle
to deepen the group’s understanding of its environment and focus on its future direction. Each Graphic Guide is
accompanied by a Leader’s Guide that describes how to use it with a group.

The Strategic Visioning Startup Kit begins with the Graphic History to map the group’s history. Next, use the Context Map
to scan the current environment. Identify organizational realities with the SPOT Matrix. With the information from these
sessions, have the group use the Cover Story Vision to imagine where it wants to be in five to ten years. By fleshing out
the ideas that come through the Cover Story Vision, you can then consolidate your vision in the Five Bold Steps Vision.
Finally, create a plan for putting your vision into action with the Graphic Gameplan.

CREATING SUSTAINING
10.1 TPModel ©1993–2000 Allan Drexler & David Sibbet

Teams are the building blocks of contemporary organizations. If teams and their leaders aren’t productive,
an organization will struggle to be effective and profitable. Our approach to team building is based on the
Drexler/Sibbet Team PerformanceTM System, a widely used model and suite of tools for creating and sustaining
team performance developed by Allan Drexler and Grove founder David Sibbet. These tools provide team leaders
and members with clear, visual frameworks for developing teams and implementing practices that lead to high
performance.

Tea m Leader Gui de— St r at eg ie s a n d P r a c t i c e s

Solutions for Common Team Leader Challenges
After years of research and refinement using the Drexler/Sibbet Team PerformanceTM Model (TPM), The Grove is
proud to announce the update to our popular Team Performance—Creating and Sustaining Results team leader guide.
The new Team Leader Guide—Strategies and Practices contains a self-
guided orientation to the roles and responsibilities of team leaders
focused on getting results with their teams. The guide includes a
full explanation of the TPM, and a set of 12 Success Strategy Maps
geared to common team leader challenges (such as starting a
team, team decision-making, progress reviews, and leading action-
learning projects). These Strategy Maps illustrate which of the
85 best practices (compiled at the back of the guide) to apply
and in what sequence. These best practices are presented in an
accessible, page-at-a-glance format keyed to stages of the TPM.

This guide’s accessible, collaboration-oriented approach

addresses co-located as well as dispersed teams, implementation
and leadership teams, single-site and cross-boundary teams,
single-culture and diverse-culture teams.

The practices in the Team Leader Guide are similar to the practices in Best
Practices for Facilitation. Please call us if you have any questions.

Self-Scoring Form and Guide to Interpreting Results
The Team Performance Indicator is a fantastic way to assess how your team is doing relative to each of the seven lenses
of the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance™ Model (TPM), and provides an opportunity to consider whether and how
the team should change.

The Indicator consists of 21 items that define some critical aspect of team performance, such as “Our team goals” or
“The results we produce.” The individual results of the Indicator allow teams to gain new insight into the similarities
and differences each member has regarding the lens they are looking at and where there is convergence around the
need to change. The Indicator is also a catalyst in creating effective communication around issues blocking the team.
TEAMING

Once the assessments have been completed, the team leader or consultant has visual (and quantifiable) data on
the current team view. This snapshot becomes a baseline to check progress after a series of actions have been
implemented to resolve issues.

“With the Facilitator’s Travel Tube, I feel confident the charts will arrive safely when I check my luggage because security can easily
open and close it. On the way out it’s spacious enough to hold two 25-yard rolls plus pre-made charts, and coming home I know the
meeting charts will arrive well protected. The wheels make juggling my wall charts, luggage and carry-on a breeze. Plus I look more
professional to my clients wheeling in my sleek Facilitator’s Travel Tube rather than lugging in a box the airlines beat-up.”

 Charters ® Markers
After years of research, we believe we have created the best water-color marker avail-
able. Charters® markers’ specially formulated chisel tip is perfect for thick and thin
lettering. It is sturdy enough to hold its shape without becoming mushy, yet forgiving
enough to give you smooth, sharp lines. Our inks were chosen for their vibrant color,
excellent coverage and lack of odor. In addition we have increased the ink-carrying
capacity by 25% to make them longer lasting. Charters come in eight colors and are
non-permanent and non-leaking.
Individual Markers  •  CPI–1008  •  $2.25 ea.
Set of 8  •  CPS–1001  •  $18

Large Sticky
Notes
