Belbin Team Role (1993)

 

Belbin Team Roles are used to identify people's behavioural strengths and weaknesses in the workplace. This information can be used to:

 

• Build productive working relationships

• Select and develop high-performing teams

• Raise self-awareness and personal effectiveness

• Build mutual trust and understanding

• Aid recruitment processes​

On completing the Belbin questionnaire the result I received was ‘Team worker’. They are people who mainly focused on completing the task on behalf of the team. Also they are described as Co – operative, sensitive and are good listener who build relationships and who dislikes confrontation.

 

This is well linked as this very much describes the way I work, although when working within a different environment or a larger group than normal it is important not to rely on others ideas but to voice your own opinion on what you feel is right , very much again this links into confidence. I feel over time this is something I have been working on, by contributing in class discussions or taking lead within a group project. Looking back to when I first enrolled on to my course to where I am now, I personally have seen an improvement.

 

 

 

Value to the Team – As a team member I:

 

• Help to create and maintain an orderly work environment
