    Understanding Team Roles to Create an Inclusive Leadership Environment

    Join us for this team-oriented development presentation -- increasing communication and effectiveness within your team so it achieves its objectives. Belbin Team Roles gives a framework and a common language from which to explore and increase understanding of collective strengths and how to use these for effective teams.

    Brief overview of Belbin Team Roles: theory, research and validity.

    • What are the Nine Team Roles;
    • What are your Preferred Roles;
    • How are you most (and least) useful to the team
    • Team Mapping Exercise – Each table will act as a “Team” and based on the team role makeup, analyze their team strengths and potential areas for concerns

    After the diagnosis, they will determine how to use their new understanding of Belbin to help navigate areas of concern and maximize individual and team strengths.

    Those who attend should expect to leave with the following:

    • Understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each of the Belbin Team Roles and why that improves and strengthens business relationships
    • Gained insight and practical knowledge of how to use the Belbin Team Roles approach to bring about business improvements
    • Understanding of how to use Belbin to enhance individual as well as team performance
