Before I read this book, I thought the secret to success as a Managing Director was to surround myself with people just like me (yes, I was that arrogant). Those of you who know the book will recognise a Super Plant when you see one...
This book eloquently outlines just what you need to do to get it right first time. I've dipped into it time after time over the last fifteen years (I'm here buying my third or fourth copy - I keep giving them away), and can well understand why it continues to be a reference work. It will teach you how to put together the right people for a Board, a management team, or just a small project group. You'll find yourself making sure you've got a 'completer-finisher' in there, and you'll use the techniques from this book to get it right first time.
Some of the content can be heavy going and somewhat boring, but the best antidote for this is to jump straight to the tests to assess yourself. Then a light will go on and you'll realise it's not just talk - this stuff actually makes sense so it's worth wading through.
Highly recommended - but it loses one star for its somewhat plodding style here and there.

If you want to research anything on teams and how to manage them then just get this gem and you're sorted. It has all you need to know on creating a successful team
Format:Paperback
I been Belbin'd on a number of occasions but never really explored the theory. I have finally got round to it, and this book is great. I have dipped in out, rather than read cover to cover but have found it informative and insightful. And the added bonus was that there is provision for one reader to access one full Belbin online report.
