The theory was developed at the Henley Management Centre by analysing what made teams successful during a series of management games. During this analysis, nine team roles were identified. We are a combination of all nine roles, however, generally two or three will be more prominent. These nine roles can be broken down into three categories as follows:
Cerebral - Plant, Specialist and Monitor Evaluator
Action - Shaper, Implementer and Completer Finisher
People - Coordinator, Teamworker and Resource Investigator
Scenario 1
Take a bunch of random individuals without giving it any thought and expect them to work productively together.
Scenario 2
Select and train your team taking into account their key skills and getting them to work according to these key skills in order to maximise their potential and therby influencing the team's overall productivity.
The benefit of utilising and understanding Belbin Team Roles is that not only do we learn more about ourselves, but also a lot about our work colleagues and how to get the best out of them.
We work closely with leading hotels and venues across the UK to provide corporate teambuilding, conference facilities, themed parties and evening entertainment.
We cover predominantly England and Wales but are very happy to discuss your requirements anywhere in the world.
Although we are based in the New Forest National Park area (Hampshire and Dorset) many of our corporate teambuilding clients have offices in or near major cities such as London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Bristol. We are able to source excellent hotel and venue facilities for team building exercises within easy travel of these locations.
Below is a list of venues we commonly work with to run our events across the UK, we work closely with all of the venues listed and any member of our sales team would be more than happy to get you a price quote from them to host your next event.
