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:
| Know Your Team |
| Know Their Strengths and Weaknesses |
| Give the Right Job to the Right Person. |
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.
Key messages
| Have a common goal |
| Learn from experience |
| Speak a common language |
| Work in stages |
| Support and develop |
| Listen and contribute |
The benefits
| Ideal for any teambuilding programme. |
| Helps everyone to understand the value of a focused team. |
** 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.

Does the team work?
Improving effectiveness through teamwork
The aim
To ensure staff know the job they're doing, why they're doing it and how the
work affects their colleagues.
About the programme
In today's competitive environment people are busier than ever before, which
is why it is essential that they really understand their role. This video,
based on Belbin's new workset model, looks at the performance of the team
aboard a science fiction-style space freighter which, like many businesses, is
inexplicably heading off target. Belbin's unique system of colour coding tasks
makes it easier for teams to understand the nature of their work and how it
contributes towards their objectives.
Managers must look at the team and identify 'pink' work - work which is
unproductive and either mistakenly allocated or assumed to be part of the job.
People must be encouraged to analyse what they are doing compared to what they
are achieving - which should be the core results expected of the team.
Then staff, where appropriate, will be able to discard job descriptions and
redefine themselves. The programme highlights that they should pay special
attention to the parts of their job which are classed as tasks (structured
blue and reactive green work), and those which carry responsibilities (yellow
decision-making and, more complex, orange work). These can be further
classified as work best undertaken by individuals or shared efforts.
The result is a better organised team that completes its task, makes better
use of time, and delivers more in terms of productivity and service. They're
getting the freighter back on target.

Selecting the perfect team
Utilising internal and external resources
The aim
To learn the skills that ensure candidates are selected who are a perfect
fit for both a functional position and an existing team role.
About the programme
Selecting the perfect team is based upon the theory of Dr Meredith
Belbin, and provides support for managers involved in selection.
Belbin's research indicates that fewer recruitment disasters arise when
managers search for people within their own organisation, since these people
are likely to fit more readily into existing teams.
As the drama unfolds, it highlights that eligibility of candidates is no
substitute for suitability - that is, whether candidates will fit into the
team. Impressive qualifications, sparkling track records, glowing references
and dynamic interview techniques may be red herrings.
Managers will learn to identify the team role required to balance the team.
This means looking at internal, as well as external candidates, even though
they may not at first appear eligible. Following the theory will help
managers avoid costly recruitment decisions, and select better, more
suitable candidates.
The benefits
|
Complements recruitment and management skills training

Team spirit?
How to be an
effective team member
The aim
To enable people to see themselves as part of the team, not just as
individuals.
About the programme
People who have their own job to do often fail to see themselves as part of
a team. Team spirit? is a light-hearted, but high-impact way of showing them
the importance of teamwork. It looks at three examples of people whose
failure to appreciate this need has disastrous effects on their colleagues
and customers.
One individual does not understand how her administration job fits in with
others, and because she fails to provide them with information they cannot
do their jobs properly and customers become dissatisfied. She is shown how
to share information and become part of the team.
A mechanic is good at his job but fails to communicate and accept
responsibility. This affects the service his garage provides, until he
learns how to adopt a proactive attitude, helping workmates and taking the
initiative. This results in satisfied internal and external customers.
Colleagues in a tourist information centre differ. One is studious and
meticulous, while the other is dynamic and full of ideas. They learn that
they can achieve much more by co-operating and sharing skills, and benefit
from greater motivation at the same time.
The benefits
| Ideal for customer care, teamwork and new-starter training |
| Engaging, humorous and realistic format |
| Three structured team-working scenarios |
Style: Humorous drama
Programme includes:
| DVD(25 mins) |

Five Star Teamwork
How is it that certain teams achieve extraordinary excellence, day after
day, year after year and manage to stay committed to each other, their
customers and their organization's mission? This new program features the
remarkable team at the Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City. Long
regarded as a premier destination and widely thought of as one of the best
restaurants in the world, the Four Seasons team lives by a set of
principles that are universal to any team, in any environment. There are
no actors, no experts and nothing is contrived-just a real-life, high
performing team delivering excellence day after day, year after year.
Just as an example, one of the most important principles of the team is
their commitment to each other. An uncommon promise that is one of the
traits that set them apart from all others in any setting. They know that
unless they take care of each other first they will not be able to provide
the level of service required by the pressure-cooker atmosphere of the
restaurant.
To Achieve Five Star Teamwork There Must Be A...
