Course Overview
In the 1970s, Dr Meredith Belbin and his research team at Henley Management College set about observing teams, with a view to finding out where and how these differences come about. They wanted to control the dynamics of teams to discover if – and how – problems could be pre-empted and avoided.
As the research progressed, the research revealed that the difference between success and failure for a team was not dependent on factors such as intellect, but more on behaviour.
The research team began to identify separate clusters of behaviour, each of which formed distinct team contributions or “Team Roles”. A Team Role came to be defined as a cluster of behavioural attributes effective in facilitating team progress. It was found that different people displayed different Team Roles to varying degrees.
This session will help each member of the team understand their own Team Role, how their team sees them and what each individual’s strengths and weaknesses are. The facilitator will then focus on the team as a whole, helping them to identify the strengths of that team and where they can make improvements to increase cohesion and productivity.
This session requires a small amount of pre-course work. Individuals will need to complete a “Team Roles Self-Perception Inventory” (duration approx. 15 minutes) and will need 4-6 colleagues to complete “Observer Assessments” (duration approx. 5 minutes) at least one week prior to the course.
