History of Belbin
Where it began
Dr Meredith Belbin developed the Belbin Team Role theory during an intense study of teams at Henley Business School in the UK in the late 60s and early 70s.
His research found that it was not intellect, but balance, which enabled a team to succeed. The most successful companies tend to be those with a mix of people with a range of behaviours and attributes.
Belbin Team Roles theory was created identifying nine distinct clusters of behaviour in people within teams. Finding the effective balance of these behaviours for a successful team has seen Belbin Team Roles used in organisations ever since.
I felt the weekend was exceptionally well run, I really enjoyed it. It was engaging, motivating and hands on! Highly recommended.
Testimonial
The team loved getting to know each other and each individual’s working styles better. A comment by some was that prior to the event they thought that they just were not good at some things, falling short in their abilities. Now, they realize that they are not meant to be good at everything, but that they are unique and can all work together to build on each other’s strengths – and learn from each other also. Great event. Great energy by Anita. We loved it!
