Harness the Power of Your Team with Belbin Team Roles
The Belbin Team Role model describes different sets of skills that help people and groups succeed. Getting a report on their Team Role strengths and weaknesses helps people understand how to increase their personal effectiveness when working alone or with groups of any size.
This webinar is designed for those new to the Belbin methodology. Max Isaac will provide a brief history and overview of the Team Role model, walk through a sample Belbin report, and provide examples of how people have used the reports to maximize their collaborative skills and achieve their professional goals.
