The Team Workbook — Starter
The baseline scan and the complete Trust session from Firm Foundations. Ten pages, built to be printed and written on — enough to run one real session with your team this week.
No sign-up. No email. It just downloads.
The baseline scan
Everyone scores all seven pillars independently, then you compare. The gaps between people’s scores tell you more than the scores do.
The full Trust session
The five fears your team carries in, the three forms of trust, the four questions for the room, and a commitments page with names and dates. Not a sample — the whole session.
One copy per person
Print it for everyone in the room. The baseline only works if people answer on their own before anyone says a number out loud.
Why the free version starts at Trust
Because the order is the argument. Each pillar rests on the ones beneath it, and a team that fixes its communication before it fixes its trust is decorating a house with no footings.
Trust is also the pillar most teams skip, because it is the only one where the leader has to go first — out loud, in front of everyone. If that session is uncomfortable, it is working.
When you want the rest
Three ways to keep going
Score all seven properly
The seven-pillar diagnostic is a real instrument, not a quiz. Thirty-five items, scored, with a written read on which pillar to start with and why. It takes about fifteen minutes and you get the results by email.
Take the diagnosticRead the book
Firm Foundations is where all seven pillars are laid out in order, with the case for why the order matters. The starter session came straight out of it.
The complete eight-session Team Workbook is now in print — all seven pillars, the ninety-day plan, and the page your team signs by hand. One book for you, one workbook for every person in the room.

The hard part is not the exercises. It is that the leader has to answer first — and you cannot credibly do that while you are also the one facilitating the room.
Mark runs all seven pillars across two days, with an outside voice holding the structure so you can participate in your own session.
