The 10 Second Team Manager Pyramid Guide
SKILLS
• We all learn skills. They do not appear via osmosis or the Matrix. Some
team members will astound you with the skills they already have. Other
skills need to be learned to accomplish even the most basic tasks.
• Skills are tools that fill a virtual box. The magic truly happens when team
members pull an existing skill from their box and creatively apply it to the
unknown. As a Team Manager, encouraging skill development is not just a
technique, but a gift to the team for a lifetime.
• Skills for creative thinking are presented as a major part of this
level. Take advantage of them, for yourself and for your team.
• Facilitating at the Skills level is not Interference.
In fact it is the essence of what Team Managers should do.

INFRASTRUCTURE
• Without a purpose and place to apply them, skills wither
and fade into time.
• In our case, DestiNation Imagination creates a simulated slice of
reality on which to focus for about six months or so….
The Challenge is Infrastructure.
As a Team Manager it is not Interference to help your team
understand the aspects and rules of the Challenge.

SOLUTION
• In terms of the Destination ImagiNation® Challenge, this is
where Team Managers cannot go. This area belongs only to the
team. This is the team’s Presentation. You can’t touch it.
• The SOLUTION is where the team synthesizes the SKILLS and
INFRASTRUCTURE levels into something totally their own. It
draws on the lower levels, but produces something unique. A way
of putting the pieces together that is unexpected and chases the
word SOLUTION to the point of the pyramid.
As a Team
Manager you are
only interfering if
you are in the RED
