Belbin Team Role Theory is the gold standard in team management methodology across the globe. The strength of Belbin lies in the fact that it is evidence-based and predictable in real life work settings. It injects team leadership skills into the leadership development of your students. It provides a very practical approach to how individuals can play to their strengths to maximize their role on a team.
A key strength of the Belbin Team Role Reports is that they are based on not only self-perceptions, but also observer assessments. These observer assessments provide an objective view of an individual’s contributions and are a critical element in developing self-awareness.
We often find that individuals are totally unaware of the strengths that they possess (we call these “hidden strengths”), and conversely people may over-estimate their strengths in certain roles. The Belbin framework is extremely helpful in the process of helping team members to understand their strengths.
