Meredith Belbin’s work on teams has become part of everyday language in organisations all over the world.
Management Teams (2nd ed.) is required reading for managers concerned with achieving the best results from those who report to them. The first edition is one of the most widely-read, imaginative and influential books on this vital area of management research and was cited by the FT as one of the top 50 business books of all time.
The second edition includes eleven case studies, plus a new chapter describing how Team Role theory was put into practice in the intervening years between the two editions.
- The Apollo Syndrome
- Creativity
- Team Leadership
- Improving Unsuccessful Teams
- Winning Teams
- Team Size
- Designing a Team
- Teams in Public Affairs
The second edition of the book also contains a free online Belbin assessment (worth £30). This is to replace the obsolete self-scoring Self-Perception Inventory, which is out-of-date, is not fully normed and is lacking the Specialist role.
N.B. Any reproduction of the 8-Team Role Self-Perception Inventory found in this book is a breach of intellectual copyright.
