A team role as defined by Dr Meredith Belbin is:
"A tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with
others in a particular way."
Meredith’s work at Henley Management College identified
9 clusters of behaviour – each of which is termed a team-role.
Each team-role has a combination of strengths and allowable
weaknesses.
When you complete the Belbin® self-perception questionnaire
you will receive (among other reports) a ‘fingerprint’
of your preferences for each of the 9 Team Roles. You may
find that you have 3 or 4 natural roles which you can use
appropriately depending on the current situation. Very few
people display characteristics of just one team role.
The value of Belbin® team-role theory lies in enabling
an individual or team to benefit from self-knowledge and adjust
according to the demands being made by the external situation.
As Belbin® Team Roles describe a pattern of behaviour
this fingerprint isn’t fixed as many factors influence
how we behave – for example a change in job. Ideally
you should re-complete a Belbin® self-perception inventory
as you progress through your career. Each Belbin® report
is only a snapshot of your behaviour at that one given time.
