Outcomes
• Open dialog is the norm.
• Define and “walk-the-talk” of an IDEAL
manager/supervisor.
• Provide an introspective opportunity.
• Improve the organization capacity.
• Caring people as caring managers/supervisors.
• Provide the opportunity for coaching.
Rules for Spoons
• Dealer - Deal four cards to each player.
• Dealer - View and pass cards from the deck to next
player.
• All players continue to pass while selecting four of a
kind (for example - four Kings, NOT four spades).
• Anyone - when you have only four of a kind in your
hand you may take a spoon.
• When anyone takes a spoon, everyone can take a spoon.
• If you end up without a spoon, you must change tables.
• The newest player at a table must deal the next hand.
RGB and Spoons
• Red - Looking for 4 of a kind!
• Green - Developing the winning strategy!
• Blue - Selecting card passing options!

Blue Trends
• Progress that is measured by output and
financial gains is insufficient in forecasting
organizational potential.
• Reward and recognition systems provide
little or often negative incentive.
• Information is guarded based on a need-toknow “rule,” leaving the workforce ample
room for potentially negative guesswork.
Red Trends
• Lack of appropriate authority and
accountability at all levels in organizations is a
barrier to progress.
• Fairness and equity concerns across the
workforce prevent a full commitment to
problem finding and solving.
• Traditional performance evaluation systems
are ineffective at motivating members of the
workforce to improve performance.
Green Trends
• The “gap” between the front-line and the
executive suite is growing: leaving a battlefield
of mistrust and misunderstanding that rob the
organization of capacity.
• The value of embracing the full range of
diversity has not been realized leaving some
members of the workforce less than fully
engaged.
• The earnest application of cross-functional
teams prevents adequate return-on-investment.
