Belbin Team Roles
Belbin Team Roles is a model developed by Dr. Meredith Belbin that identifies nine distinct roles individuals can play in a team. These roles are categorized into three groups: action-oriented, people-oriented, and thought-oriented. Each role contributes uniquely to team dynamics, helping to enhance collaboration and productivity.
The nine roles include Plant, Resource Investigator, Coordinator, Shaper, Monitor Evaluator, Teamworker, Implementer, Completer Finisher, and Specialist. Understanding these roles allows teams to leverage individual strengths, improve communication, and achieve better outcomes by ensuring a balanced mix of skills and personalities.
