Why Teams Struggle
Capable People, Disappointing Results?
Most teams don’t struggle for lack of skill or technical ability. The usual causes are behavioural, and once you look at the mix of behaviours in the team, they’re surprisingly predictable.
A Practical Approach
Behaviour, Not Personality Labels
Belbin Team Roles look at how people actually behave and contribute in a team, rather than personality types or job titles. With Belbin you can:
- See how each person really contributes
- Understand strengths and allowable weaknesses
- Spot overlaps and gaps across the team
- Improve communication and collaboration
- Get people doing what they do best
How Belbin Works
A Simple, Proven Process
Assess Team Roles
Each person completes a short questionnaire, ideally with feedback from colleagues, to produce their Belbin Individual Report.
