Belbin and self‑awareness: the key to higher-performing teams

 

Teams succeed not only because they assemble the right technical skills, but because individuals understand how their behaviour contributes to, and interacts with, the behaviours of others.

Self‑awareness is widely recognised as a cornerstone of personal development, effective collaboration and sustained team performance. Yet research consistently shows that genuine self‑awareness is surprisingly uncommon. Without it, teams are more likely to experience friction, misalignment and under‑used strengths.

In this webinar, we explore self‑awareness through a distinctively Belbin lens — focusing on observable behaviour, rather than abstract personality traits.

Using new insights from Belbin’s global research dataset of over 78,000 individuals, we will examine:

  • What self‑awareness really means in a team context
  • Why behaviour — not personality — is the primary driver of team effectiveness
  • How feedback and observer perspectives sharpen self‑understanding
  • Why fewer than one in five people can be considered truly self‑aware
  • How individual awareness can scale into collective capability and stronger team performance

Whether you are a leader, HR professional, coach or consultant, this session will give you a deeper understanding of how self‑awareness can be measured, developed and applied to create more resilient, high‑performing teams.

Belbin x MTa: Bringing Behaviour to Life

 

Jo Keeler, Managing Director of Belbin, will be joined by Jamie Thompson, Managing Director of MTa Learning.

Tuesday 5th May 2026 at 13:00 BST

Jamie brings extensive experience in the design and delivery of MTa’s experiential learning tools, which are used globally and grounded in The MTa Way. This approach is shaped by values such as deeper learning, confident humility and fearless innovation, all focused on creating meaningful moments of insight and lasting behavioural change.

In this session, Jamie will explore:

  • Why experiential learning has such impact for teams, providing a safe, hands-on environment in which people can observe, reflect and gain deeper insight into their own behaviour.
  • How MTa’s values support teams to notice and understand real behaviour, helping individuals recognise patterns, strengths and challenges as they arise in the moment.
  • How MTa activities complement Belbin by turning Belbin insights into lived team experiences, where individual contributions, behaviours and interactions become visible and meaningful.

In conversation, Jo and Jamie will show how Belbin provides a shared language for understanding behaviour, while MTa creates the experiences that help this understanding take hold and translate into day-to-day working practice.

Ideal for facilitators, coaches, HR professionals and team leaders, this webinar offers practical examples, thoughtful discussion and a clear view of how the two approaches work naturally and effectively together.

Institute of Leadership Masterclass: Managing Difficult Relationships within your team.

Not all working relationships are equal - some flow effortlessly, while others can be challenging. While tools and checklists can help, this Masterclass goes deeper.

We were invited to present a Masterclass for the Institute of Leadership to demonstrate how Belbin helps organisations to build stronger, more effective teams by focusing on team dynamics and how people work together.

 

Webinar: Belbin Team Roles: Theory and Application

Belbin is taught and used by organisations worldwide. Why?

It is a practical tool for self-development and building high-performing teams. It is based on a decade of research, studying teams to understand why the succeed or fail. And we've been refining and updating it ever since.

 

Teams are the critical link between strategy and success.

However, team work is difficult.

During this webinar we will start with the question 'what does a team need?' and look at how using Belbin - the gold standard team tool - can help increase the performance of teams.

Webinar: Belbin reports - the intelligence your team needs

Once you have agreed the team objective, and you all know what it is you need to achieve, the next step is to allocate the right work to the right people.

We know that a successful team needs access to all nine Belbin Team Roles, but which of these behaviours does each team member have as a strength? Where can you best use them? Where are their weaknesses? What other talents might they be able to develop for the good of the team?

 

Webinar: Managing Difficult Relationships at Work

Managing difficult working relationships is key to ensuring team success.

Belbin Team Roles can help by providing a common language and framework for understanding individual behaviour and strengths. By identifying individuals' preferred ways of working, Belbin Team Roles can help to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts between team members.

You’ll learn:

  • When NOT to aim for a fully balanced team
  • Other team factors which can make or break team success
  • How to spot role overload and role gaps before they derail a project
  • How to use Belbin with contextual intelligence to make smart, situational choices

 

Webinar: Finding Your Authentic Team Leadership Style with Belbin

  • How you can use your Belbin Individual report to increase your team leadership effectiveness. You don’t have to follow someone else’s style of being an effective leader – you can create your own!
  • A strategic approach to managing yourself, your team, and your sphere of influence.
  • A three-part model for leaders: developing your coherence, versatility, and ability to learn.

Webinar: Self-Sabotaging Teams

When teams are under pressure, pack mentality prevails. When collective anxiety becomes intolerable, teams try to counter it with dysfunctional coping mechanisms.

These strategies might offer short-term relief, but they ultimately sabotage group dynamics and performance.

So what happens when this damaging behaviour flies under the radar? How do we identify and address self-sabotage in our teams?
