Team roles can be natural, although you may shift position within the team. Thought Oriented, Action Oriented, and People Oriented team members are all necessary for success.
Being adaptive within your team can help lead to success. You may see yourself as a delegator but then realize another team member is a bit stronger in those areas leaving you do find another role but also fulfill your personal and professional needs.
Fostering a growth mindset within teams can help students embrace challenges and learn from mistakes.
Recognizing that each team member has a distinct role is crucial for effectiveness, and success is achieved by permitting individuals to perform their responsibilities accordingly.
I found it interesting that different types of teams will often have different types of roles that will prevail. Learning about the different groups of team roles made me reflect on which my teammates would would into.
Listening and collaborating with a team is very important, no matter what difference of opinions there are we must be willing and able to listen to those around us.
to improve teamwork there needs to be frequent communication and positive attitude to help develop good team relationship
No team can rely on only a couple of personalities for success. gathering multiple types of individuals with different skill sets can ensure success in the objective at hand.
I learned that communication is really important because everyone has a specific role within a group.
It is so important to not only self evaluate but to consider everyone's strengths and weaknesses -
I appreciate Dr. Belbin's 9team roles broken into three categories. I also see how the follow Benjamin Blooms taxonomy.
1. Action Oriented (Behavioral/psychomotor)
2. People Oriented (Affective)
3. Cerebral Oriented (Cognitive)
It is effective when you are aware that every team member has a different role and you'll be successful when allowing each to act in their role accordingly.
It was insightful to understand the categorization of team roles into three groups action oriented, people oriented, and thought oriented.
To improve teamwork and ensure effectiveness, it is important that all parties have clear tasks and assignments so that everyone works efficiently and get the task done.
I had never considered the various roles that team members play. I wish there were printable quizzes or team building activities that that were provided to help teams find out who finds which roles most relateable.
I found Dr. Belbins three categories of team roles and "allowable weaknesses" to be enlightening and provided a positive and thought provoking insight into the 'inner' workings-needs of a team. The whole idea of "allowable weakness" within the dynamics of a team is realistic and proactive.
