Do the teams in your organization have what it takes to succeed? Make practical use of Dr. Meredith Belbin's ground-breaking model of team roles to create well-balanced, high-performance teams! In his highly acclaimed book Management Teams: Why They Succeed or Fail, Dr. Meredith Belbin introduced his now famous model of team roles. Now, In Team Roles at Work, Dr. Belbin tells how to apply his proven model to create effective work teams that are balanced with all the right team roles. Unlike some theories that are created as abstract models and then applied, Belbin's revolutionary model of team roles came about from decades of comprehensive research into what makes a team successful in the real world. These findings are applied in practical terms to real-life organizational situations. Based on solid research, Dr. Belbin's findings reflect human nature better than any other team theory. They capitalize on what actually occurs in workplace settings, rather than an artificial construct.

This book from Meredith Belbin, the UK's leading expert on teams, takes the reader on a different and fascinating journey. His insightful analysis takes us from the faults of typical hierarchies to the new world of restructured, flatter organizations where new sets of problems are emerging. In the search for alternative systems, Belbin outlines ways in which continuous deployment and career development can result in more effective use of people's talents. He describes the world of the higher social insects where evolution has generated a common set of principles governing organizations at their most advanced. He then suggests that these integrated strengths could be combined effectively with the strategic abilities of humans. A model in the form of the helix, is foreseen in which individuals and teams move forward on the basis of excellence rather than function. Here information technology can assist in the evolution of human organizations to enable them to become both more complex and more viable in the future.
