About Team Roles:The role we take on when part of a team has been defined by Dr. Meredith Belbin as "Our tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a particular way." We all have natural tendencies in workplace activities.
Determining your prefered team role can help you in your career planning and personal development decisions. For employers, this assessment can help in the selection and recruitment process and, most importantly, in the process of matching you with the right people and jobs.
The team role specified for you will reflect the behaviours and attitudes that you tend to adopt within a work team. No matter what role you tend to fill, each role is important and has its own strengths and weaknesses. Most people can and do assume each team role, to some degree. However, the following is the team role that you take on most naturally.
Results of your Team Roles Test:CoordinatorSimilar to:
Belbin's Co-ordinator
Margerison-McCann's Thruster-Organizer
MTR-I's Conductor
Your score = 90
What do your results mean?According to your score you seem to naturally gravitate towards the role of Coordinator in a group. This means that you like to organize tasks, assign them, and keep tabs on the teamwork being accomplished.
Description of the role:Coordinators are the people who keep precise notes, know exactly where the project is at any given point in time and call status meetings when needed. Being analytical organizers, Coordinators clarify goals, remove ambiguity from complex and difficult tasks, and hand out "to-do" lists or deadlines to team members.
Highly structured, mature and confident, Coordinators juggle priorities, keep track of the chronological order of task execution, tasks division and various assignments, and ensure the availability of resources - human, material or informational - when organizing a project. In short, good delegation skills and a keen sense of justice allow these indispensable team members to coordinate all efforts and implement decisions.
Strengths of the Role:The Coordinator is an integral role in any team; without this person work may never be accomplished with any semblance of order. The Coordinator is often the starter of a project. They collect the information, help develop plans, put them in order and hand out task assignments, often without being asked!
Coordinators tend to be efficient, down-to-earth individuals who rarely get sidetracked. They are goal-oriented and focused. The Coordinator is a powerful position because this person holds vital information and is aware of every aspect of the project.
Weaknesses of the Role:Coordinators can be perceived as bossy and overbearing. Occasionally they overstep their boundaries, especially when assigning work to other team members. Some Coordinators might get caught up in a project or task and forget about the personal or human aspect of teamwork and focus only on the goal and the process of reaching it.
