Framing Belbin® Team Roles at Work

Each Belbin® Team Role has its strengths and weaknesses. And, for a team to be effective, it has to have the right mixture. So, the next step in our workshop is to frame how Belbin® can be used at work.

We’ll discuss how different roles interact in real-life scenarios and cover how to lay the foundation for them to work best together.
