Belbin's
Team Roles
Belbin identified nine distinct team roles
that individuals naturally assume in a group setting. Each role has its
strengths and weaknesses. Understanding these roles can help in forming a
balanced team where each member's contributions complement the others.
- Plant (PL)
- Strengths: Creative, imaginative,
and good at solving difficult problems.
- Weaknesses: Can be preoccupied with
ideas and forget practicalities.
- Resource Investigator (RI)
- Strengths: Outgoing, enthusiastic,
and communicative. Explores opportunities and develops contacts.
- Weaknesses: Can be over-optimistic
and lose interest once the initial excitement has passed.
- Coordinator (CO)
- Strengths: Mature, confident, and
good at delegating tasks. Clarifies goals and promotes decision-making.
- Weaknesses: Can be seen as
manipulative and might delegate too much work.
- Shaper (SH)
- Strengths: Challenging, dynamic, and
thrives under pressure. Has the drive to overcome obstacles.
- Weaknesses: Can be prone to
provocation and might offend people's
feelings.
- Monitor Evaluator (ME)
- Strengths: Sober, strategic, and
discerning. Sees all options and judges accurately.
- Weaknesses: Can be overly critical
and slow to come to decisions.
- Teamworker (TW)
- Strengths: Cooperative, mild, and
perceptive. Listens and averts friction.
- Weaknesses: Can be indecisive in
crunch situations and may avoid confrontation.
- Implementer (IMP)
- Strengths: Practical, reliable, and
efficient. Turns ideas into actions and organizes work systematically.
- Weaknesses: Can be inflexible and
slow to respond to new possibilities.
- Completer Finisher (CF)
- Strengths: Painstaking,
conscientious, and anxious. Searches out errors and polishes the work.
- Weaknesses: Can be inclined to worry
unduly and reluctant to delegate.
- Specialist (SP)
- Strengths: Single-minded,
self-starting, and dedicated. Provides knowledge and skills in rare
supply.
- Weaknesses: Can dwell on
technicalities and overlook the bigger picture.
Individuals
can naturally assume one or a combination of two or even three of these
roles. They may even change their role
when under pressure. Therefore it is
important to understand the natural roles your team members assume in different
situations.
What is
your natural role?
Do you assume
more than one role?
Which type
do you work with best?
Do you assume
a different role when you are under pressure?
How to Use
Belbin’s Team Roles to Form a Balanced Team
Belbin's Team Roles provide a framework for
understanding the different strengths and contributions individuals bring to a
team. By identifying and strategically assigning these roles, you can form a
balanced team where each member's strengths are maximised and weaknesses are
mitigated. This leads to enhanced team performance, greater satisfaction among
team members, and more successful project outcomes.
- Assess Team Members' Roles:
- Identify Strengths: Use psychometric
assessments, observations, and feedback to identify the natural roles of
each team member.
- Balance the Team: Ensure that the team has
a mix of roles to cover all necessary functions. Avoid having too many
people in similar roles which can lead to imbalance.
- Allocate Roles Strategically:
- Match Roles to Tasks: Assign tasks based on
team members' strengths. For example, give creative tasks to the Plant,
organising tasks to the Implementer, and networking tasks to the Resource
Investigator.
- Avoid Role Overload: Ensure that individuals
are not burdened with roles that are outside their strengths for too
long, as this can lead to stress and inefficiency.
- Facilitate Role Understanding:
- Communicate Roles: Clearly explain the
importance of each role to the team. This helps members appreciate their
own and others' contributions.
- Encourage Role Acceptance: Promote an environment
where team members respect and understand each other's roles and how they
contribute to the team's success.
- Monitor and Adjust:
- Regular Check-ins: Regularly review the
team's composition and the effectiveness of role assignments. Be ready to
make adjustments as projects evolve or as you gain more insight into team
dynamics.
- Provide Training and
Support: Offer training to help
team members develop in their roles and support them in areas where they
may struggle.
- Promote Collaboration:
- Encourage Interaction: Facilitate activities and
discussions that allow team members to leverage each other’s strengths.
- Balance Workload: Ensure that the workload
is evenly distributed and that all roles are utilized effectively.
