Framing Belbin® Team Roles at Work
Each Belbin® Team Role has its strengths and weaknesses. And, for a team to be effective, it has to have the right mixture. So, the next step in our workshop is to frame how Belbin® can be used at work.
We’ll discuss how different roles interact in real-life scenarios and cover how to lay the foundation for them to work best together. You may spot areas of overlap and potential conflict, allowing you to address them before they affect your business. You may also spot gaps that need to be filled to improve your team performance.
Workshops can also cover how different roles respond to stress, change and management styles, depending on your needs.
