Belbin Team Roles

Belbin Team Roles are an essential part of Team Contributions Mapping.

Belbin is a methodology used to examine how individuals contribute, interrelate and behave on a team. Participants gain a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, and how this relates to improved individual and team performance.

Belbin Team Roles have enabled thousands of individuals and companies worldwide to:

  • Build productive working relationships
  • Select and develop high-performing teams
  • Raise self-awareness and personal effectiveness
  • Aid recruitment processes

How does it work?

The Belbin Team Role approach:

  • Collects self and observer feedback
  • Compiles the information in a Belbin report, which educates people about their strengths and weaknesses related to nine main Team Roles
  • Facilitates teams using this information to help team members play to their strengths and manage their weaknesses
  • Allows for improved communication, working relationships and performance
  • Offers eLearning for more in-depth understanding

Our Clients

Why Belbin over other approaches?

The Belbin Team Role analysis is a behavioral assessment rather than a personality or psychometric one.

Personality is unlikely to change, so to get individuals and teams working more effectively, we need to focus on the point where changes can be made: our behaviors. 

Instead of only self-reporting, Belbin assessments also use 360° feedback to give people an accurate idea of how they fit into a team.

Data can be used on an individual or team basis, to support better business results.

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
