Belbin Team Roles measure behaviour, rather than personality. Whilst an individual’s
personality traits are acknowledged to be fairly stable and unchangeable, behaviour can
and should change to enable you to adapt to new working environments and challenges.

Team Roles are a combination of preferred, manageable and least preferred roles. The distribution and interrelation of these roles across an individual’s profile have a great influence on the way the roles will be played out in practice and experienced by others.

Whilst your current working style might be a perfect fit with your job role and the culture of your workplace at the moment, what if you moved department or even organisation? You might find that you were able to shape your role around your current Team Role strengths, but more likely your behaviours would adapt to address the requirements of your work and your team.

Download our handout to find out more about how and why Team Roles change; what sort of changes you can expect; and how to glean more learning opportunities from your Team Role profile by adding Observer Assessments.
