Fire, toast and teamwork

Introducing Team Role Theory

The aim

To help people analyse the composition of their own team in order to increase team effectiveness and performance.

About the programme

Fire, Toast and Teamwork is an engaging programme, designed to set out and explain Team-Role Theory. The film introduces and explores Dr Belbin’s Team Roles through animation and then illustrates them in a more traditional case study, where we see a team in action.

Fire, Toast and Teamwork gives course participants an understanding of the nine different team roles, so that they can identify the useful behaviours which they and others display. The extra content takes an in-depth look at each of the team roles in turn. Advice is provided on how best to play each role and how to manage and work with people who have that role.

The programme culminates with a Q&A session with Dr Meredith Belbin himself. This provides a rare opportunity to gain real insight into the whys and wherefores of Team Roles.

The programme is accompanied by a facilitator's guide which includes handouts and slideshows, as well as helpful suggestions for potential workshops and exercises. Fire, Toast and Teamwork is ideally suited to any trainer or organisation passionate about teamwork and keen to understand its importance in maximising potential.

The Apprentice: case studies on teamwork and team leadership

Learn how to work as part of a team

The aim

To demonstrate how to perform in, or lead, an efficient, effective and successful team.

About the programme

The Apprentice: the training series is a three-part series of programmes based on BBC's The Apprentice, which offers an entertaining way to develop skills in sales, negotiation, teamwork, team leadership and project management that individuals remember forever. Each programme focuses on the decisions the apprentices made and the consequences of their actions. The examples of their different approaches to problems clearly show how things should – and shouldn’t – be done.

Case studies on teamwork and team leadership demonstrates the keys for success in both, by examining the apprentices’ real-life business examples.

Teamwork. Pitching and presenting an ad campaign shows how successful teams are both effective (doing the right job) and efficient (doing the job right). A common purpose, a clear objective and a clear sense of direction, are needed if the enterprise is to succeed. The five key qualities of an efficient team are examined.

Team leadership. Organising an event on Tower Bridge, this programme sees Michelle becoming The Apprentice. She uses her experiences in this and earlier tasks to focus on the key skills of successful team leadership, such as: giving direction; balancing the needs of the task, the team and the individuals; taking responsibility; and taking risks.

Building the perfect team  Belbin's team role theory in action

The aim
To appreciate the nine key team roles, and balance an effective team accordingly.

About the programme
Managers must understand that people bring more than their skills and experience to a team; they bring their personalities as well. Utilising people's behavioural strengths to create a balanced team adds immensely to both group and personal performance.

This video dramatises Dr Meredith Belbin's team-role theory, and explains how to identify nine key team roles for a balanced team. It shows that although each team member in an example team has a functional role in, for example, marketing in accounts, they also have team roles. These are critical to the team's success. Each of the nine roles is defined and shown in action.

Belbin explains that teams with fewer members may need people to perform dual roles. He shows how behavioural skills can be assessed and how, with care, teams can be constructed that take account of hierarchies as well as personal interaction.

The Motley Crew

This video was produced to demonstrate the importance of teamwork. 

The lessons:

Video Synopsis:

The motley crew features a gang of bank robbers, led by Jack 'The Hat' Motley, who learns the lessons of teamwork the hard way.  After a bungled bank-job lands Jack in jail, he tells his sorry story to his ex-boss and gangland leader Bernie from behind bars.

Jack starts with a group of professionals - each an expert in their particular field of crime. But he failed to allow them to introduce themselves, spoke in a language half the team did not understand, and neglected to give people clearly defined tasks that matched their abilities.

By trial and error, the team gradually learned some of the basic skills of good teamwork - such as creating a common purpose, learning from experience, speaking a common language, working in stages, ensuring everyone knows what is expected of them, and supporting team contributions, while not allowing anyone to dominate the proceedings.

But as Bernie points out, they did not learn enough. Bernie, on the other hand, has learned all these lessons so well that he is looking forward to a comfortable retirement . . .with more than a little help from the bank.

** Bonus DVD:  WORKING TOGETHER

When you purchase this DVD, you get a meeting opener DVD that introduces the importance of formulating a success strategy for a team. In the meeting opener, two characters plan the redecoration of a house. Both think they're a team, both think they know what each other is doing and both think they have planned to perfection.  Although they think they have the theory right, the reality is not quite what one had in mind.

Style: Humorous drama
