      Belbin Team Roles

      Do you ever feel like there is something lacking from your team, but aren’t quite sure what it is? Is your team performing at its highest capability or is there room for improvement? Understanding what makes a good team great, goes beyond employing the people with the best qualifications or most experience.  A great team has the right balance of skill, knowledge and behaviours within its people and through a Belbin workshop we can help you identify just that. 

      Belbin empowers individuals and organisations to maximise their performance through truly understanding how each team member works.   Revolving around the highly acclaimed profiling theory “Belbin Team Roles”, this workshop will help individuals better understand themselves and how they and their colleagues fit within a team.

      Through Belbin, new teams can be assembled, existing teams can be improved, and everyone can understand the difference they make in the workplace.  It’s a win, win, win!

      What to Expect

      Belbin Theory

      Before the workshop day, each team member will take an online self-perception test with the option to include 360-degree feedback from observers or colleagues to build their Belbin Team Role profile. On the day we begin with a light intro to the origins of Belbin Team Roles and why behavioural diversity, not just qualifications drives effective teams. Participants receive their Belbin profiles and start exploring how these roles influence communication, collaboration, and contribution.

      Discovering Your Role

      Using interactive group activities, participants dig into their own Belbin profile and identify how it shows up in everyday team life. They’ll connect with others who share their role and uncover why they operate the way they do.

      Team Mapping

      As a group, the team maps where each person fits on the high-performance team wheel. We explore how different Belbin roles show up during projects, decision-making, and conflict and how to work better together through understanding and trust.

      Action Plan

      Each participant leaves with a 12-month personal and team development plan focused on maximising individual strengths, improving team communication, and creating more balanced, high-functioning collaboration.

      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!
