Allan shared a team-building model he had developed with Jack Gibb, an influential social science researcher, and Marv Weisbord, a thought leader in organizational development. I first met Allan in 1982, when I gave a workshop about facilitation that included Arthur M. The depth of his field experience with teams, coupled with his deep understanding of group dynamics developed in sensitivity training work at National Training Labs, kept the work grounded in the real world of working teams. Without Allan we would not have this model. In the 1980s, he and I co-developed the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model® (Model) and the facilitative methods and tools connected with it.
I was saddened to hear that my friend and colleague Allan Drexler passed away recently. In Cognition & Communications, Collaboration Strategies, Graphic Facilitation, Mental Models, Organization Development, Process Theory, Transformational Leadership, Visualizing
