Using team role theory in management development

Article Abstract:

People should not be given specific roles which are based purely on their personality because people can play different roles within teams and many factors can influence how well they are played. A person's behaviour will be influenced by their expectations and commitment to the role they are playing. Some roles offer more autonomy than others and this will affect how the role is carried out. Managers must strive to get the most out of their teams by considering fulfilled and unfilled potential, if roles have been learnt and where further development is needed.

The Belbin measures can still be an effective tool for learning, development and change in the context of team behaviour.
