The Belbin Team Roles model is the best tool available internationally to achieve greater team cohesion and effectiveness amongst any group of executives or staff.
The model was developed by Dr Meredith Belbin, a UK researcher who found that teams need the right mix of people to be effective. He identified that there are 9 Team Roles, each having its own set of characteristics.
‘What is needed is not well balanced individuals, but individuals who balance well with each other.’ M. Belbin.

Our Approach when applying the Belbin Team model
A team role as defined by Dr Meredith Belbin is:
"A tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a particular way."
Our clients achieve great results when using the Belbin Team Style profiles, finding it easy to use and understand. We find that clients get best results when they have a 1/2 -1 day workshop where participants discuss their own styles and the aggregate team profile which we prepare for them.
By providing reports in easily understood formats, we find it encourages discussion between team members about the team's current effectiveness and how it can be improved.
It also increases each team member's understanding, empathy and respect for other team members and how to work together to get the best results.
Some clients take this a step further and use the Belbin Team Styles to identify other staff with a team style that complements the existing executive team. These staff can be co-opted as needed to address specific issues or projects, or otherwise generally included to round out the executive team and accelerate the achievement of desired results and outcomes, which may not otherwise have been possible.
