How do students feel about Belbin?
I am a strong advocate for Belbin because it works at all levels - the feedback on Belbin has been so strong that we now also use it within the Foundation Programme.
Our masters level students, particularly those studying on the MA International Business and MA Global Management programme can also understand the strengths and benefits of using Belbin when compared to other psychometric tools used at the University.
For our masters level students, as part of our CPD co-curricular activities, we designed and ran in 2019 an CPD accredited workshop Belbin entitled “Applying Belbin in Individual and Group Coaching”.
The feedback was extremely positive, as the students could experience for themselves the applicability of this tool in a real-life working environment.
Prior to the workshop, having fellow peers observe and complete a questionnaire on each participant was also an invaluable tool that students found useful with Belbin. That way, they could compare their own data to those provided from their peers and reflect and comment on the similarities or differences of the two profiles.
