Product Description

Review

'Overall, the combination of Belbin's easy prose style and the use of chapter summaries means that this is a very accessible work. While the focus on empiricism will not appeal to all readers, it provides a fascinating insight into the development of one of the most influential management theories of our time.'

Rob Palethorpe, Industrial and Commercial Training Journal

Product Description

. Benefit from Belbin's own experience of putting the Team Roles method into practice

. Succinct and practical information to enable managers to make a real difference in the workplace

. Real-life case studies show how to apply the theory in practice

Meredith Belbin's unique and widely-read work on teams has become part of everyday language for organizations around the world. For every manager, getting the most from their team is paramount in achieving superior results. Belbin's vital area of management research supersedes the usual preoccupations with qualifications and experience, considering instead the Team Role behaviours which shape everyday interactions in teams.

Management Teams: Why they succeed or fail is an account of the experimental study of management teams at Henley Management College from which Belbin's unique Team Role theory developed. Now in its third edition the original theory has been fully updated and rewritten in parts by the author, with chapter summaries and updated illustrations. This is the original book by Meredith Belbin, offering the only authoritative explanation of how Belbin's world-famous Team Role language came into being.

R. Meredith Belbin was formerly Chairman of the Industrial Training Research Unit. A founder Member of Belbin Associates, he is also Visiting Professor and Honorary Fellow of Henley Management College.

Highly Recommended 11 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
This book gives fascinating background into how the Belbin Team Role theory came about. His visionary work 40 years ago rightly holds immense relevance and respect today. No manager should be let loose near a team without reading this book. Not only easy to read, but also easy to apply to the realities of the workplace today. As a L&D Consultant, I highly recommend all of the Belbin materials.

History and background 28 Dec 2010
By Glen Mohr - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book caters to "Specialists" wanting deeper background and history on how the research was conducted that led to Belbin Team Roles theory. The chapters on unsuccessful teams, winning teams and designing a team offer models that are useful for comparison. Those wanting something more geared to application would do better to read Team Roles at Work.
