Everyone needs to develop certain skills for the workplace. Personality tools such as MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) and Belbin Team Roles go some way to help us recognise and appreciate the diversity of soft skills and strengths that people can bring to an organisation.

However our recruitment and performance management and development processes tend to be set up for more “neurotypical” people.



BELBIN TEAM ROLES

Belbin is a diagnostic tool for teams and individuals aiming for better teamwork. Belbin helps to discover the behavioural strengths and weaknesses of the individuals that you work with. It is used to help build high-performing teams, maximise working relationships, and enable people to learn about themselves.

Belbin Team Roles methodology introduces the following description of the nine Team Roles:

1. Plants are highly creative and good at solving problems in unconventional ways.

2. The Monitor Evaluator is needed to provide a logical eye, making impartial judgments where required and to weight up the team’s options in a dispassionate way.

3. Coordinators are needed to focus on the team’s objectives, draw out team members and delegate work appropriately.

4. When the team is at risk of becoming too much inward looking and isolated, the Resource Investigators provide inside knowledge on the opposition and make sure that the team’s idea will carry to the world outside the team.

5. Implementers are needed to plan a practical, workable strategy and carry it out as efficiently as possible.

6. Completer Finishers are most effectively used at the end of a task to ‘polish’ and scrutinize the work for errors, subjecting it to the highest standards of quality control.

7. Team workers help the team to gel, using their versatility to identify the work required and complete it on behalf of the team.

8. Challenging individuals, the Shapers, provide the necessary drive to ensure

that the team is kept moving and does not lose focus or momentum.

9. The Specialist has in-depth knowledge of a key area.
