Step 4: Now have the coachee or the team members self-select the order of the 9 Belbin roles as they see themselves. Or in a team context, I discuss the roles (Plant, Resource Investigator, Monitor Evaluator, Co-ordinator, Shaper, Teamworker, Implementer, Completer Finisher, Specialist) and many of the points from the 3 above links with the team. Step 3: Have your coachee read the above links as well. (uk)-2011-TeamRoleSummaryDescriptions.pdf Step 2: Especially make sure to read and understand the Belbin Team Roles
Step 1: Read everything you can on Meredith Belbin, the history of the team role theory, the opposition, and the advocates. There is an alternative free Belbin Test that also works albeit unsupported and to a lesser scientific and correct level: I recommend this approach for excellent results! The assessments are fantastically detailed and provide plenty of material to help a team improve and to give team members insights into themselves as people and members of "this" team they are currently members of. The online Belbin test reports are generated and emailed to you. The easiest, and only sanctioned way to apply the Belbin Team Roles Test, is to go online to and purchase the required number of tests for you and your team. All applications provide valuable team member role insights and can be quite usefully combined with team building activities or coachee plan assignments. There are a number of ways to apply the Belbin Team Roles theory, which all provide shades of correctness.
Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (UK) (or US) for further information) I also explain about the problems of labels, and how labels applied to people become truthes that get played out. I discuss this principle with individual coachees, teams and team leaders this before giving them homework or some brief presentation on Belbin's Team Role theory. Before I get into the details of the free Belbin Test: all my favourite coaching tools - free, online, or other - need to be applied with sensible and cautionary advice from statistician George EP Box: " all models are wrong, some are useful".
