Noting that at any point you can revert back to the previous stage. Allan Drexler and David Sibbet spent 10 years refining a comprehensive model of team performance that shows the predictable stages involved in both creating and sustaining teams. Their 7 stage model also works for new people joining a team. Team Performance Model - Free download as Word Doc (.doc), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. It starts with people “up in the air” imagining the purpose and bounces off the “ground” of current realities, regaining freedom of movement through mastery of the constraints. I received my certification in The Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model. Drexler and Sibbet decided to visualize the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model® as a bouncing ball. It is a powerful framework that helps teams align on how to become high performing. They pass through different stages of engagement and often go back and forth between these stages as the team coalesces.

Teams are more like athletes and artists than buildings, and are in a journey that fluctuates between freedom of aspirations and real-world constraints-seeking a resolution of the two in action. I had previously been aware of the work of the Grove guys from their work with “visual meetings” (good book btw), but I was unaware of the fact that in the 1980’s David Sibbet and Allan Drexeller (founders of Grove) also developed a great model for creating and building teams. The Grove Team Performance Online Survey is comprised of statements about your team covering central aspects of team performance. I recently found a great model for describing how team dynamics work.

Without Allan, we would not have this model. I am yet to find a business that is successful without getting this “people” stuff sorted. In the 1980s, he and I co-developed the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model® and the facilitative methods and tools connected with it. Creating and building effective teams has got to be the biggest challenge facing business owners.
