QLD JOBS

If you only collect recognition information towards the end of the project you may observe only a few of the team who will be involved in the closing stages.

Belbin defines 8 Team Roles: Completer, Coordinator, Monitor Evaluator, Implementer, Resource Investigator, Shaper, Teamworker and Specialist all of which have their positive traits but some may appear more negative than others.

Completers.

1. These people are classified as the Completer-Finishers of the team. Their eye for detail and capacity to check and double-check are well attuned to this activity but can be seen as fussy.
2. Monitor Evaluator.
3. Monitor evaluators are, by nature sober skeptics who will act as an anchor for all the blue sky thinking. Their role in the team is key to achieving a realistic and workable solution but they achieve this by being terribly unexcited and critical.

Shaper.

They get the job done by being bombastic and demanding, it's the only way they know how. A Shaper is built that way because they are bold and somewhat reckless; traits necessary to operate in the world of uncertainty that they inhabit.

Teamworker.

Quiet, retiring Teamworker types are very good at keeping the team stable by massaging the worries and concerns of the team and minimizing friction where they can. As operators they may appear to be indecisive under pressure and you could dismiss them as being ineffective.
