An Overview of the Application of Belbin Theory
Dr Meredith Belbin's work at Henley Management College, UK, identified 9 clusters of behaviour – each of which is termed a team-role. Each team-role has a combination of strengths and allowable weaknesses. See the Belbin Team Role Summary Table for more information.
When you complete the Belbin self-perception inventory you will receive (among other reports) a ‘fingerprint’ of your preferences for each of the 9 Team Roles. You may find that you have 3 or 4 natural roles which you can use appropriately depending on the current situation. Very few people display characteristics of just one team role.
The value of Belbin team-role theory lies in enabling an individual or team to benefit from self-knowledge and adjust according to the demands being made by the external situation.
As Belbin Team Roles describe a pattern of behaviour this fingerprint isn’t fixed as many factors influence how we behave – for example a change in job.
Ideally you should re-complete a Belbin self-perception inventory as you progress through your ca</a>eer. Each Belbin report is only a snapshot of your behaviour at that one given time.
