Team roles required for effective teamwork
01. Action-oriented Role: Shaper
In
a team, individuals who are dynamic and enjoy challenges perform the shaper
role. Shapers keep a strong mental outlook rather than leave when faced with
obstacles, and try to find the best ways to solve the team's challenges.
02.
Action-oriented Role:
Implementer
People who play the role of the implementer in a team are
those who in the team actually get things done. They are functional, profitable
and well-organized. Implementers turn the thoughts and suggestions of the team
into concrete plans. In order to consider change in a team, implementers are
very rigid and sluggish due to their conservative nature.
03.
Action-oriented Role:
Completer/ Finisher
For information, finishers have an eye. They are called
perfectionists in a team because they are the ones who spot mistakes or
omissions and aim to ensure that the team complies with deadlines. They are
neat and self-conscious and panic about an issue at the slightest indication.
04.
People-oriented Role: Coordinator
For information, finishers have an eye. They are called
perfectionists in a team because they are the ones who spot mistakes or
omissions and aim to ensure that the team complies with deadlines. They are
neat and self-conscious and panic about an issue at the slightest indication.
05.
People-oriented Role: Team Worker
The people who ensure that the team remains united are team
workers. They work towards resolving disputes or problems impacting the
dynamics of the team. Team staff are very supportive of other members of the
team and are often famous within the team.
06.
People-oriented Role: Resource Investigator
Investigators
of resources are inquisitive and enthusiastic in nature and have outstanding
abilities in negotiation and networking. They are extroverts, making it easy
for others to interact with them. Resource investigators build outside connections
through their networking skills and bargain for the support of the team.
07. Thought-oriented
Role: Monitor-Evaluator
In a team, these are the critical thinkers. They are
serious in nature and careful. They tend to objectively evaluate knowledge
rather than jump into decision making before making any assumptions. Control
evaluators lack the energy to inspire other members of the team and are known
to be sluggish in decision-making.
08. Thought-oriented
Role: Specialist
The
specialist role is comprised of staff with experience in a specific field.
Their contribution to the team is restricted to their field of knowledge only.
Maintaining their ethical standards is their priority. While they show great
pride in their field of expertise, they show little to no interest in others'
expertise.
09. Thought-oriented
Role: Plants
Plants are creative team members. They come up with
original methods and concepts that help the team tackle or resolve obstacles by
solving problems. In nature, plants are introverted and exhibit low
communication skills. Plants tend to work alone. They respond well to praise,
but are greatly influenced by adverse criticism.
Conclusion
Belbin's Nine Team Roles is a valuable tool
for defining personal characteristics and their vital contribution to a
high-performing team while composing team members who complement each other
with their roles. For myself, I gain a clearer understanding of my favorite
team positions after thinking on the various work situations and what position
I have performed. I'm more of a coordinator, Sharper, Plant, Specialist and
Monitor/Evaluator in this situation

ReplyDeleteIn some organization's staff "Individually they are strong but as a team they failed to achieve their goal" according to this team work also one of the best tool to reach organizations goal.
ReplyDeleteThe way you present is interesting to the readers.
Team works are very much needed by organizations today and they can increase the productivity of the service they provide. To put it another way, a team needs several people and they have different ideas. It creates diversity in the workforce of the group and allows them to look at different issues from different angles and make decisions. Eventually autonomous groups can expect effective action as well.
