Team Roles
Meredith Belbin identified nine Team Roles that he considered were required for effective teamwork. He carried out research into team selection at the Henley Management College and at the Industrial Training Research Unit at University College London. To achieve this, he first used a Self- Perception Inventory Analysis in seven sections. For each section, respondents were asked to distribute a total of ten points among the given statements which they thought most accurately described their own behaviour. The results were then scored and discussed and a team profile emerged. Belbin has pro- duced one of the most widely used questionnaires for team selection and team training, and his analysis forms the basis for much of the research in the field of selecting and building effective teams. In his research, Belbin identified the key players who would be important to a team and who would provide the necessary balance and interaction within the group. Their roles and attributes are summarized below in Figure 8.1. These roles ensure that a team consists of members with the appropriate skills and qualities required at the different stages of a project or pro- gramme from its planning stage through to its implementation. They also include the process skills to coordinate the diverse efforts. Belbin’s research supported the general conclusion that individuals are seldom good at every- thing; they are dependent on the people they are working with and have more to contribute than their specific expertise. They are more motivated and happy working in a way that is natural to them. Team members should be selected both in terms of the team roles they can assume and also in rela- tion to the team skills that are most needed for the purpose in hand. If the number of people in the team is small, it is possible for members to assume more than one role. Belbin’s research can be summarized as follows: Each individual has a primary role in which he or she tends to feel most comfortable. This is the dominant role and one to which the individual is best suited. Each individual may possibly have as many as one to four back- up roles which he or she is able to play but is less comfortable with. Team members have strong diversity roles and complement each other’s different strengths. Teams with a mix of profiles and a balance of roles • • • |
