My discussion this week will be based on my reaction to one of the questions which states that – Explain the most important team roles for high performing teams and why? Personally, the three most important key roles in a team are: Coordinator, plant, and Team worker. A coordinator has described by Belbin is a team manager and a task delegator. I believe that the most important role in a team is the coordinating role. A high performing team needs an individual that will take the coordinating role, this individual will assign tasks according to strength of the members, he/she will evaluate the members’ abilities and then assign each member with suitable task, he also states the goal of the project and monitor the progress of work. Do you
During the 1970’s, Dr Meredith Belbin and a team of researchers conducted research on a number of teams in an attempt to discover what aspects of a team’s dynamics can contribute towards the teams overall success or failure. They discovered that the success or failure of a team was not dependent upon the individual team members intellect but upon their behaviour. Following Belbin’s publication in 1981 of Team Role Analysis he concluded that there are nine key roles that are aligned to an individual’s behaviour that can contribute to the make up of a team. It is essential that as a leader I am able to understand the possible behavioural role that an individual may exhibit when
Moreover the correct distribution of roles can improve a groups dynamic by reducing phenomenon’s such as risky shift (Ridley, 2010), which frequently occurs with too many creative and risky decisions being made, this could be as a direct result of a team simply having too many of the plant
The identification and understanding of an individual’s role and that of the other team member’s roles is crucial as is the recognition of how the different roles complement each other and work together.
A team is a type of organizational group with independent members. They share common goals and work together to meet these goals (Northouse, 2016). The organization where I work has teams at various levels for maximizing the success. These teams include, core teams, coordinating teams, patient aligned care team (PACT), contingency teams, ancillary teams, support and administration teams (Veterans Health Administration [VHA], 2015). Some of these teams have interdepartmental members while others have intradepartmental staff. Successful teams have a concrete blueprint and that contributes to their effective functioning. There are several factors that affect these teams irrespective of the level. The factors comprise the presence of a clear task, separation from non-team members, authority, and stability. The factors like working conditions, team process and bridging the gaps are concerns for the executive level. The complexity of the task, individual skills and their diverse specializations affect the selection of the team members. The team’s meaningful interactions decide their success. Independent teams can help promote friendly competition within the organization and lead to better staff performance. An efficient leader can design and launch an effective team through careful planning and selection of the right members. He/she keeps the factors that affect the success of the team in mind when designing the teams. The patient care units
Group leaders are essential to the success of accomplishing the mutual goals of group counseling. The role that group leaders play is vital for establishing a group environment in which members feel safe, engaged, and encouraged. Characteristics and functions of effective group leaders are good listening skills, good observations skills but more importantly, remain impartial, therefore, the group leader does not give her or his opinions about topics because of consequences that can bring to the group. Additionally, group leaders are culturally sensitive to differences in power and privilege among groups from different ethnic backgrounds. Encouraging participation from members who are hesitant to speak up as well as ensuring that all ground rules are enforced are responsibilities of an effective group leader. However, also being aware that not every member is as comfortable in sharing as others are key for group leaders to be

Reflecting on experience is an important capability for an individual to be able to move forward. As (SOURCE) said, “(CONTEXT”). Moreover, individuals ought to be able to work not only individually, but also to work together in a group. Working with other people, especially whom you have not known is not as easy as it seems.

Developing teamwork skills is am important benefit for me as future professional workers.

Roles and responsibilities – It is possible that during the project development some staff may have difficulty in defining their roles within the team or were not part of the role development process that takes place during the forming stage of Tuckman’s team development model. It is also likely within the project team to have duplication of roles/function, even though Belbin’s Team roles model may have been used. However it is not a pre-requisite that all team must have the nine roles specific by Belbin. ‘Team members can take on more than one role and some roles are not necessary in certain teams’. (Horn 2009:13)
I chose Harvey for the linker/producer because of his capacity to be a “jack of all trades”. His prior experience in manufacturing and production made him an obvious candidate. Did my personal preference create an unconstructive outcome for the team?
When working with a large task it is helpful to have a plan of action. There are usually many steps and much involvement is necessary for production and or operation. Because of this, it is helpful to have a helping hand. Once team members have been selected and plans are complete it is then necessary to think about who will be better suited for each type of function. Often times, a majority of these functions overlap and involve one another and team members need to work together. That is when teamwork comes in handy. Without teamwork many of the largest projects could not be complete and possible. They are an essential part of business.
A team leader’s role is to instruct a group of people, providing directions and guidance to the team in order to ensure the completion of tasks. A good team leader will motivate and inspire his team, solving problems and empowering others to do the same.
