#TEAMS365 #1731 – Team Building Tip #202

​It is Thursday and time for another Team Building Tip. Today we are at Team Building Tip #202. This week’s question gets you to consider the question “What are the different roles team members are playing?”.

In a team roles are critical in helping the team excel and get results. Different team members may also be better suited to fulfil different roles, based on their strengths and natural talents. Consider these issues:

What are the different roles needed for the team to excel? Consider project initiator, social coordinator, Devils Advocate, Get it Done Person.
One of the better know role frameworks as it relates to team development is Belbin’s Team Roles. Read more about their nine team roles here.
​
Issues to consider with roles:

• What are the roles different people are inhabiting?
• How are the different roles helping the team?
• What is needed by the team right now?
• Is anyone getting entrenched in the roles they are filling?
• Are roles creating more silos than connection?
• As you look ahead to future work, what roles are going to be required?

Enjoy!
