  1. Team Work What sort of team worker are you? There are many different ‘types’ of team workers... Can you see yourself in any of these characters?

  2. Team A good team consists of all different types of characters.

  3. Belbin Team roles Dr Meredith Belbin came up with a way to identify team roles. He says that each Team Role has its particular strengths and allowable weaknesses, and each has an important contribution to make to a team. Very few people display characteristics of just one Team Role. Most people have 3 or 4 preferred roles, which can be adopted or eschewed as the situation requires.

  4. Belbin Team roles • Plant • Resource Investigator • Co-ordinator • Shaper • Monitor/ Evaluator • Team worker • Implementer • Completer / Finisher • Specialist

  10. Balanced teams • Teams work best when there is a balance of primary roles and when team members know their roles, work to their strengths and actively manage weaknesses. • To achieve the best balance, there should be: • One Co-ordinator or Shaper (not both) for leader • A Plant to stimulate ideas • A Monitor/evaluator to maintain honesty and clarity • One or more Implementer, Team worker, Resource investigator or Completer/finisher to make things happen

  11. Task: Pick your team Think about all the things that you have just seen/ heard about. You need to talk to the people around you and find out what they are like as a team player. From this you must create a team of 4-5 to work with on the next task (the task will be give to you next lesson.)
