PRE-WORK GUARANTEES INTEREST

The unique 360° profiling system requires team members to select observers prior to the workshop. This means that team members arrive at the workshop eager to see how others have scored them guaranteeing engagement right from the beginning of your session.

A LANGUAGE TO TALK ABOUT CONFLICT

Many team building workshops are requested by clients because there is conflict within the team that noone knows how to deal with because it is based on “personality” differences. Belbin team roles provide a language that enables participants to share problems in a way that does not cause offence. For example PLANTS (creative thinkers who are always looking for new ideas) can often clash with COMPLETER FINISHERS (detail and deadline people who want to finish things on time). Instead of criticizing the other for what are perceived of as “personality” defects participants are able to say “I sometimes find your PLANT style difficult”. It takes the heat out of clashes that could potentially be difficult.

“Real” Teamwork

Successful organisations of the 21st century will be those that encourage and practice “real” teamwork and co-operation at the top of and throughout the whole organisation. By “real” teamwork we mean teamwork where ALL the talents of team members are utilised. So often we do not know the real talents of team members or when we do understand their talents they are in positions where they cant use them.

BELBIN PROFILING BRINGS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TO YOUR HR RECRUITMENT AND DEPLOYMENT DECISIONS BY ENABLING YOU TO KNOW EXACTLY A PERSON’S KEY STRENGTHS.

This enables team members to work at their best which then drives productivity and synergy.

SELF LEADERSHIP FOR INDIVIDUALS

3) SELF LEADERSHIP FOR INDIVIDUALS

Develop your Self-Leadership, Strengths/Weakness Awareness & Build a Successful Career

NO INDIVIDUAL IS PERFECT BUT A TEAM CAN BE

Would you like to use your unique skills instead of running around trying to do everything?
Would you like to plan for a job where you can use your key talents?
Would you really like to understand how other people see you?

We often expect ourselves to be perfect, to be able to do everything; have a “big picture focus, manage the detail, make sure that practical implementation is completed, counsel team members, and be creative.” Unfortunately the person who can do everything does not exist – or if they do they end up so stressed that they get sick or leave early. It is the team that can be perfect and your particular contribution can help the team be perfect.

LEADING YOURSELF

We need to learn that understanding and being aware of how to use your unique team style is crucial for both managing yourself in a team and managing your career. Put more simply – we need to be good at self leadership.

What is Your “Natural” Team Style?

To be effective in a team you need to be able to understand your unique style. Often we may have a rough idea of what we are good at, or we may have done a whole variety of personality profiles. BUT self assessment alone is often not accurate. Feedback from others is the missing piece, and Belbin profiles provide that.

CHOOSE OBSERVERS

The Belbin system allows to choose up to 4 people who know you in a team setting. By inviting your observers to choose from a variety of adjectives that they feel describe you, you are able to analyse how you see yourself compared with how others see you. You may think that you are weak in a certain style and they see you as strong; or it can be the other way around, you think you are strong and they see you as weak in a particular style. Either way it allows you to have a fully rounded profile which enables you to be more aware of your strengths and weaknesses and so give you better ability to effective. This then allows you to grow and develop by focusing on your strengths and managing your weaknesses.

MANAGING YOUR CAREER

The Gallup organization reports that people who have jobs where they can each day do work where they use their natural strengths are more effective. You may not be in such a job today or you may not be aware of what your natural strengths are. The Belbin Job Report helps you discover this. By completing the Belbin Job questionnaire you are able to compare your skills against the skills needed in the job and therefore make better more informed decisions about your job “fit” and “suitability”.

This knowledge allows you focus on tasks in your current job that you do best or pursue positions that allow you to do what you are good at. Research in Positive Psychology reports that when you are doing a job that lets you use your natural strengths you are much more content. Your Belbin profile will enable you to manage your career more effectively – and at the same time be happier!
