Find your ‘why’
The starting-point for any team is a clear objective. What's the team's Why?
What is the team set up to do and what is it expected to achieve? What are the deadlines, resources available, expectations from stakeholders? So many questions...
Remember, Belbin should be visited every time:
- the team meets
- work needs to be allocated - look at the Belbin Individual reports when a manager is looking to get the most out of their team and when they are checking they have given the right work to the right people.
- the team increases or decreases in number
- a particular pairing is needed - i.e. when two people are working together.
