    The key takeaways are that Dr. Meredith Belbin expounded Team Role theory in 1981 and identified different tendencies people have to behave and contribute in teams, known as team roles. There are nine team roles that can be grouped into social/people roles, action roles, and thinking roles.

    The three categories that team roles can be grouped into are social/people roles, action roles, and thinking roles.

    Some of the action oriented team roles described are Shaper, Implementer, and Completer Finisher.

    BELBIN TEAM ROLES

    What are Team Roles?


    • In 1981, Dr. Meredith Belbin expounded Team Role
    theory in his seminal book, “Management Teams: Why
    They Succeed or Fail”.
    • The book was later named as one of the top fifty management
    books of all time.
    • According to Belbin, people in teams tend to assume
    different "team roles."
    • Team role is a tendency to behave, contribute and
    interrelate with others in a particular way.
    Team Roles can be grouped into three categories:
    - Social / People roles (Co-ordinator, Resource
    Investigator, Team worker)
    - Action roles (Completer Finisher, Implementer,
    Shaper)
    - Thinking roles (Monitor Evaluator, Plant,
    Specialist)
    Shaper Challenges the team to improve
    Action Oriented Implementer Puts ideas into action / gets things done
    Roles
    Completer Sees the job through / Ensures thorough,
    Finisher timely completion
    Acts as a chairperson / Guides the team to
    Coordinator
    their objectives
    People Oriented Encourages cooperation / provides support /
    Team Worker
    Roles makes people work together effectively
    Resource
    Explores outside opportunities / innovator
    Investigator
    Plant Presents new ideas and approaches.
    Thought Oriented Monitor-
    Roles Analyses the options / evaluates ideas
    Evaluator
    Specialist Provides specialized skills to get the job done
    PLANT (PL)
    The first Team Role to be identified was the Plant. The role was so-
    called because one such individual was “planted” in each team. They
    tended to be highly creative and good at solving problems in
    unconventional ways.

    MONITOR EVALUATOR (ME)


    One by one, the other Team Roles began to emerge. The Monitor
    Evaluator was needed to provide a logical eye, make impartial
    judgements where required and to weigh up the team’s options in a
    dispassionate way.

    CO-ORDINATOR (CO)
    Co-ordinators were needed to focus on the team’s objectives, draw
    out team members and delegate work appropriately.
    RESOURCE INVESTIGATOR (RI)
    When the team was at risk of becoming isolated and inwardly-
    focused, Resource Investigators provided inside knowledge on the
    opposition and made sure that the team’s idea would carry to the
    world outside the team.

    IMPLEMENTER (IMP)
    implementers were needed to plan a practical, workable strategy and
    carry it out as efficiently as possible.

    COMPLETER FINISHER (CF)


    Completer Finishers were most effectively used at the end of a task, to
    “polish” and scrutinise the work for errors, subjecting it to the highest
    standards of quality control.
    TEAMWORKER (TW)
    Team workers helped the team to gel, using their versatility to
    identify the work required and complete it on behalf of the team.

    SHAPER (SH)
    Challenging individuals, known as Shapers, provided the necessary
    drive to ensure that the team kept moving and did not lose focus or
    momentum.

    SPECIALIST (SP)
    It was only after the initial research had been completed that the
    ninth Team Role, Specialist emerged. In the real world, the value of
    an individual with in-depth knowledge of a key area came to be
    recognised as yet another essential team contribution.
