LYNNE:
Lastly, you explored the difference between a group and a team, and considered some of the teams that you've been part of. You also looked at the case study of Jane, who lacked team experience, and started to think about the nature of the teams you've been involved with.
This week, you're going to be thinking about the different roles people play in a team. Belbin's nine team roles are one of the ways different personalities in a team can be described. And you'll have a think about teams you've been part of a start to identify the roles you feel most comfortable in. You'll think about how it might feel to be part of a dysfunctional team, and conversely, what it's like to be part of a team that's performing really well.
