The graph above shows your Team Roles in order of preference. Some people have an even spread of Team Roles whilst others may have one or two very high and very low Team Roles. An individual does not necessarily show all nine Team Role behaviours.

This graph is based solely on your views. In addition to analysing your own views, you can ask others to complete Observer Assessments to provide feedback about the Team Role behaviours they observe in you. This is useful because Team Role contributions are about the way others see us and work with us, as well as the way we perceive ourselves.

Please remember that Belbin Team Roles consist of both strengths and associated weaknesses. From your responses, your top Team Roles show a relatively high ratio of associated weaknesses to strengths. We recommend requesting Observer Assessments to give a more rounded view of your Team Role contributions.

Team Role Feedback

SPI completed on 25-Feb-2022 © BELBIN 2011 Page 5 Report printed on 25-Feb-2022

This report offers guidance and advice on the best way to manage your behaviour at work and make the most of your Team Role contributions. The applicability of the advice may vary depending on the stage of your career and your current working situation.

This report is based upon your Self-Perception only.

You appear to have a disposition towards managerial liaison work, as well as a concern for accuracy and attention to detail. As such, you could be well-placed to act as the public advocate of quality, encouraging others to aspire to - and maintain - high standards.

If you are a manager, take a close interest in the jobs of those who work for you. Pay attention to exactly how things have been done without interfering or implying superior knowledge. If you find fault with what is being practised, you may achieve the desired results merely by posing one or two well-formulated questions. Always make yourself available as someone to whom others may turn to talk about key job issues.

When dealing with either your manager or colleagues, it may be advisable for you to avoid dwelling for too long on minor matters. Instead, you should project yourself as someone who believes that attention to detail as a general principle offers competitive advantage. Your mission is to communicate this outlook to all with whom you associate. You should be able to do so by reference to personal example and without resorting to rank or status. However, by bringing your actions and public words in line with each other you will command added respect.

Your working style should be one of taking a broad view and then getting down to the detail.

You could also focus on cultivating your ability for efficient planning and organisation. One of the most effective ways to establish your reputation is by hard work. If you can develop a practical way of working, not only are you likely to benefit, but you may well find others following your example.

On a final note, you need to take account of the role for which you are least suited. You do not appear to have the characteristics of someone who obtains results by driving others forward. If you can work in harmony with someone who has these complementary qualities, your performance is likely to improve.

Maximizing your Potential

SPI completed on 25-Feb-2022 © BELBIN 2011 Page 6 Report printed on 25-Feb-2022

This report highlights your Team Role strengths and possible weaknesses, based on your views and those of your Observers, if applicable. The section, 'Understanding your Contribution', provides analysis of your responses to your Self-Perception to enable you to work more effectively.

This report is based upon your Self-Perception only.

Strengths

You are likely to:

o be very precise, demanding and achieving high standards in your work.

o be equally capable of taking a broad overview and focusing on details.

o draw out contributions from others and make the best use of the talent within a team.

Possible Weaknesses

You may:

o take a generalist approach and tend not to get involved with the specifics of a subject.

o find it difficult to adapt to quickly-changing events.

o not tend to explore or originate new ideas.

Understanding your Contribution (based on your self-perception)

Looking at the results solely from your self-perception (not taking any observer views into account), you have highlighted two possible contributions you can make. Below is some advice on how to play to your strengths further in these areas:

To play your Completer Finisher role to better effect, aspire to produce polished work and to promote your image as someone who gets the details right.

To play your Co-ordinator role to better effect, take the lead role in bringing others to agreement on important decisions. Aim for a balance between airing different views and moving to a conclusion.

Glossary of Terms

Self-Perception Inventory (SPI) The Self-Perception Inventory is the questionnaire an individual completes to ascertain his or her Team Roles. The questionnaire consists of eight sections, with each section containing ten items. The individual is asked to allocate ten marks per section to those statements which best reflect his or her working styles.

Observer Assessment (OA) The Observer Assessment is the questionnaire completed by people who know the Self-Perception candidate well. We recommend that observers are chosen from among those who have worked with the individual closely and recently and within the same context (e.g. within the same team), since Team Role behaviours can change over time and in different situations, offering advice on managing this.

Team Role Strength These are the positive characteristics or behaviours associated with a particular Team Role.

Team Role Weakness This is the flipside of a strength: negative behaviour which can be displayed as the result of a particular Team Role contribution. If someone is playing a particular Team Role well and their strengths outweigh their weaknesses in the role, it is called an “Allowable weakness”. Weaknesses become ‐“non allowable” if taken to extreme or if the associated Team Role strength is not displayed.

Percentiles A percentile is a way of measuring your position in relation to others (the rest of the population). If a group of people take a test and receive scores, these can be distributed from highest to lowest and an individual’s score can be judged in relation to the scores of others. If a person’s score is in the 80th percentile, this indicates that 20% of people have scored more highly for this measure.

Percentages Percentages represent a proportion of the whole. If you take an aptitude test and score 70 marks out of a possible 100, your score is 70%.

Strong example of a Team Role A strong example is someone who appears to play a particular Team Role to especially good effect. To qualify as a strong example of a particular Team Role, someone needs to be in the 80th percentile for that Team Role according to their Self-Perception. Once observer assessments are added, their feedback is also taken into account to determine whether or not someone qualifies as a strong example.

Points Dropped Some items in the Self-Perception Inventory pertain to claims about oneself rather than a valid Team Role contribution. If you have made more claims than 90% of the population, your Team Role feedback will take this into consideration.
