Review
'If you are really interested in learning and developing skills in teambuilding, there are certainly no books on the market that can beat Belbin's books in this subject area. Exceptional!'

Product Description
'A team is not a bunch of people with job titles, but a congregation of individuals, each of whom has a role which is understood by other members. Members of a team seek out certain roles and they perform most effectively in the ones that are most natural to them.'
Team Roles at Work is a follow-up to Belbin's highly successful book Management Teams: Why They Succeed or Fail. The nine team roles, now familiar to managers and management trainers all over the world, are explored further, adding value to the
original team-role concepts. Operational strategies are laid out which provide ideas, techniques and a new range of information and advice which can be used to the organization's advantage.
Team Roles at Work paves the way for all those in management education, including industrial trainers to put Belbin's seminal thinking on teams into practice.
* How to manage the self in a team * How to create working partnerships * How to recognize potential for the 'surprise' fit * How to encourage interdependence between members of a team * How the team should fit into the organization.
This book shows you:
How to manage the self in a team
How to create working partnerships
How to recognize potential for the 'surprise' fit
How to encourage interdependence between members of a team
How the team should fit into the organization

Practical team building,
By A Customer
This review is from: Team Roles at Work (Paperback)
Team Roles at Work builds on Dr Belbins 1st book Management Teams. This book is far more useful in terms of the practical application of the theory - how will a shaper get on with a team-worker boss? Why do some see their behaviour differently to their colleagues? How can teams manage themselves?This book also then looks at placement, and the importance of suitability for a role. If you want to apply the theory, this is the book that will help.

Highly Recommended,

This review is from: Team Roles at Work (Paperback)
Belbin's theories realy do stand the test of time. "Team Roles at Work" has been updated to make it even more relevant to today's ever changing workplace. As a keen advocate of Belbin's Team Role theory, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I use the theory regularly in Learning & Development sessions and it helps encourage real understanding and improved working relationships.

Team Roles at Work... Belbin reviewed,
By
This review is from: Team Roles at Work (Paperback)
Team Roles at Work
This is a worthy title to read for anyone whether in the private, public or charitable sectors, looking for tried and trusted methods to adopt when looking at team roles in a working environment. Belbin clearly and thoughtfully takes the reader through, in a dozen chapters, aspects of his methodologies in relation to, for example, eligibility versus suitability and interpersonal chemistry in the workplace. Why did I buy it? Well, I'm undertaking a three-year University course in Christian Ministry and one of the second-year modules covers the dynamics of team ministry within a church setting and how this particular theorist can be, and is, applied both practically and theologically to team roles and their outworking in the church's ministry, worship, preaching and pastoral care. I have found him to be easily adaptable to this particular situation and would recommend this book to other churches considering a different perspective, but one readily in tune with a Christian outlook/outreach.
