What does a Belbin Report Show Me?

A Belbin Report will help you to understand your strengths and weaknesses in relation to nine “Team Roles” – clusters of behavior that have a positive impact on team performance. In order for a team to be successful, the right Team Role contributions need to be brought in at the right time. In a Belbin Report, you’ll learn:

  • Which Team Roles you have a preference for and which ones you may be weaker in
  • How your team or observers see your strengths and weaknesses for each role
  • Team Role feedback to help you play to your strengths
  • Suggested working styles and placements based on your Team Roles

What is a Team Role?

Dr. Meredith Belbin defines a ‘Team Role’ as one of nine clusters of behavioral attributes identified by his research at Henley as being effective in order to facilitate team progress.

Meredith Belbin’s research showed that the most successful teams were made up of a diverse mix of behaviors. To build high-performing teams, we need to represent each of the nine Belbin Team Role behaviors at the appropriate times.

What are the nine Belbin Team Roles?

The nine Belbin Team Roles are: Resource Investigator, Teamwork and Co-ordinator (the Social roles); Plant, Monitor Evaluator and Specialist (the Thinking roles) and Shaper, Implementer and Completer Finisher (the Action of Task roles).
