Belbin Team Inventory
Social Roles |
||
ContentsThe Resource Investigatoris communicative and enthusiastic, establishes contacts and mostly keeps a contingency plan in mind. However, he also quickly loses interest once the initial euphoric start of the project is over. |
The Co-Ordinatorbrings together the different minds in the team. She is good at setting goals, assigning tasks and encouraging decisions. But this way she can also be manipulative and threatens to delegate too much work to other team members. |
The Teamworkeris cooperative, diplomatic, able to perceive the feelings of others, a good listener and keeps the team together. But during crises he is indecisive and struggles to make a decision. |
Thinking Roles |
||
The Plantintroduces new and innovative ideas and is able to solve difficult problems. In doing so, she is often absentminded and overly concerned about effective communication. |
The Specialistis focused and committed, provides expert knowledge and information, but may get lost in details. |
The Monitor Evaluatoris levelheaded, critical and thinks strategically – and she judges fairly because she considers every option. But she is seldom a source of inspiration or motivation. |
Action Roles |
||
The Shaperis good at working under pressure and has sufficient energy and courage to confront obstacles. But he is also provocative and capable of offending others’ feelings. |
The Implementorgets her job done efficiently and in a disciplined manner. You can rely on her. She works according to the principle ‘walk the talk‘, but she is also quite inflexible at that und finds it hard to adopt new ideas. |
The Completerworks carefully and conscientiously, detects the smallest mistakes and is punctual. He tends to bother his head about everything and is incapable of delegating work. |
