A Team Role Tribute to Dr Meredith Belbin

The Wisdom of Dr Meredith.. Quotes on human behaviour and teams

“When people work in effective combinations, they achieve so much more than when they're working alone. But to do that, we need a language, and it needs to be a language which is shared and enables people to communicate with one another."
"Simply putting together, a number of people and expecting them to work as a team is not enough."
"Self-knowledge is heightened by the understanding of others"
"Do you want a collection of brilliant minds or a brilliant collection of minds?”
" What is needed is not well-balanced individuals, but individuals who balance well with each other”
" A team is not a bunch of people with job titles, but a congregation of individuals, each of whom has a role that is understood by other members”
"The types of behaviour in which people engage are infinite. But the range of useful behaviours, which make an effective contribution to team performance, is finite. These behaviours are grouped into a set number of related clusters, to which the term Team Role is applied."
“A good team leader treats members of a team like actors on a stage. There need to be exits and entrances. Not everyone is required to be on the stage at the same time”
" Nobody is perfect but a team can be”

IN MEMORIAM

Do people only create problems?
Or do they have great potential?

People……. Possibilities
People……. Preferences
People……. Positives
People……. Performance

Here blooms a gentle plant.
The earth welcomes him happily.

What magic did Meredith weave ?

The magic of Allowable weakness
The magic of Accepting others
The magic of respecting differences
The magic of perfecting strengths
The magic of letting go
The magic of complementing each other
The magic of behavioural diversity
The magic of work and life

What a magnificent magician he was

The magician is no more
The music lives on forever
The magic will never die

Thank you Meredith for all that you have given to the world!
In deep gratitude !
