Competitive, dynamic and innovative teams need people who are outgoing and organised, who have vision and an eye for detail, who are analytical and conceptual, who are dynamic and patient, and who are forceful and sensitive to people's feelings. Yet people who have such diametrically opposing qualities are rare. So how do teams and organisations find the right balance of individuals for success? The answer is Belbin®.
The Belbin® team role construct is based on extensive research carried out over almost ten years by Dr. R. Meredith Belbin and his colleagues at Henley Management College in the United Kingdom. Dr. Belbin found that a team's success depends on its members having complementary qualities and behaviours. When team members understand their own and each others' strengths and weaknesses, they are much better able to contribute to the overall operation of the team.
Applying the Belbin® team role theory in the work environment enables organisations to "balance" team membership so each member can contribute most effectively with other members to the team's success. Without this internal balance, teams are likely to lack core capacities that are mandatory for success.
Mind Matters Training regularly provides Belbin® Team Roles Training in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and can deliver anywhere in Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China and India.
