We spent a morning with the healthy ice-cream start-up Oppo. We spoke with the founders Harry and Charlie Thuillier to get their views on why they saw a need to use Belbin.
The future of work is a huge topic for people in the workplace - but it's also something of a hot potato because there are so many topics, challenges and talking points for consideration...
“I’ve done Belbin with the team – what do I do now?” Of course, this is a question without a stock answer as there are so many variables. We really need to back up a level.
Pressure. Some people thrive on it; others buckle. But how can we predict someone’s reaction? And if we have an idea of what this reaction will be, how can we help people to develop?
How do you ensure buy-in from individuals who might be quite happy with the status quo – or at least see only the disadvantages of short-term chaos and upheaval?
Occasionally, an individual’s behaviour can have a disproportionate effect on the team. Sometimes this effect is a positive one, but we tend to be involved when the effect is detrimental to the team.
