“BELBIN’S TEAM ROLES”
TEXT A:
“BELBIN’S TEAM ROLE THEORY”
Dr. Meredith Belbin is well
known for his team role theory
(1981). The team roles identified
by Belbin are based on certain
patterns of behaviour that people
exhibit within teams. These
patterns of behaviour can
potentially have an impact on the
performance of the team. The
basic premise of the Belbin’s team
roles theory is quite simple.
When individuals become aware of their own
strengths and abilities, and understand the role that he
or she is capable of playing within a team, it helps
them to deal better with the demands of the team
environment. Belbin’s team roles are based on a study
that examined personality traits, intellectual styles and
behaviours within teams. The team roles evolved from the
clusters or patterns of these that emerged during the
study. Initially defined as 8 roles, the Belbin model now
sports 9 roles, the new one being the ‘Specialist’. The 9
team roles are usually further classified into Action
oriented, People oriented and Intellectual roles. Listen to
the record to find out more:

Roles & Descriptions
(http://www.belbin.com)
К ОГЛАВЛЕНИЮ
Analysis of Belbin Team Roles
Belbin’s roles are identified based on a series of
statements that constitute the ‘Self-Perception
Inventory’ (SPI). The statements have to be answered by
an individual based on personal perceptions of what he
or she would do in different team situations. Based on
the statements that you pick, and the weight that you
assign to those statements, the final scores are
computed. What you get is a score for each of the roles.
The roles where you score high are the ones that define
your natural inclination within a team. A person can have
strengths in more than one role and deficiencies or
weaknesses in many of the other roles. For instance, a
person can be a good Implementer and a good Cocoordinator but a very poor Completer/Finisher. This
means the individual’s natural inclination during
teamwork is to facilitate interaction and decision
making, that he or she is also capable of stepping in to
translate the team’s decisions into reality. But on the flip
side, the person may be lacking as far as attention to
detail goes.
