Jeffery D Whippo Explains What TLM (Team
Leadership Model) Is

• Jeffery D Whippo, a well-educated leader of teams
  and people, feels that team effectiveness can be
  best understood in terms of inputs, processes,
  and outcomes.
• He says that by identifying certain process
  problems in teams, leaders can use the TLM (Team
  Leadership Model) model to diagnose appropriate
  leverage points for action.
• The TLM, as described by him, is a mechanism to
  help identify what a team needs, to be effective
  and points the leader either toward roadblocks or
  toward ways to make the team even more effective
  than it already is.

Three Critical Functions for Team Leadership,
According To Jeffery D Whippo

• Within the TLM model, Jeffery D Whippo describes
  three critical functions for team leadership
  which are - Dream, Design and Develop.
• He explains that in TLM, the major leadership
  functions of Dream, Design and Development are
  applied through inputs and context.
• Achieving team effectiveness, he implies,
  requires paying attention to all three of these
  critical team leadership functions.

Jeffery Describes the Dream and Design Functions
for Team Leadership

• Jeffery says that in order to establish an
  effective team, a leader must first set the
  directions for the team, this is the Dream
  function.
• According to him, highly effective teams need a
  vision and leaders can use everything from
  imagery to metaphors to allow the followers to
  visualize the mission.
• Furthermore he explains that a leader must take
  into consideration all organizational inputs
  (reward systems, education systems, information
  systems), team inputs and individual inputs
  (interests and motivations, skills and abilities,
  values and attitudes).
• He says that these inputs compromise the Design
  function and allow the creation of the team
  tasks, composition, and set norms.

Jeffery Explains What the Final Function i.e.
Development Entails

• Jeffery Whippo explains that once the direction
  is set and the organizational and individual
  inputs drive the team Design, process criteria
  are developed such as effort, knowledge and
  skills, and strategy which result in the
  Development leadership function.
• It is within this function, Jeff confers, where
  processes and procedures are developed and
  monitored in order to drive continuous growth and
  improvement of the team.
• Whippo strongly feels that the development of the
  team must be continuous in order to ensure that
  the team is well trained, developed and set up
  for continuous improvement.
