Team DNA Conference Keynote
A keynote on the Belbin Team Role Model and workplace behaviour offers significant benefits for those seeking to improve team dynamics and enhance performance.
Key Themes:
Self-Awareness – The diverse behavioural strengths that people bring to the team.
Team Dynamics – How to achieve balance and manage gaps or overlaps in the team.
Leadership and Management - How to best use my natural behaviours in these roles.
Organisational effectiveness – The behavioural culture of the organisation.
The Belbin model identifies nine distinct behavioural clusters that individuals typically adopt within a team. These behavioural roles provide deep and immediate insights into how team members and leaders interact, contribute, and collaborate, helping organisations build balanced, effective teams.
A keynote centred around the Belbin model brings rapid awareness to the importance of diversity in behavioural styles and how to best time and use them at work. The model not only helps people to understand strengths, but also to see that the 'W Word' - weakness, is not a dirty word. Be kind to ourselves and others for our 'allowable weaknesses' and learn to manage the 'non-allowable' ones.
In a conference setting, discussing how to use the Belbin model to enhance team performance can be particularly impactful for teams, leaders, managers, and HR professionals alike.
People walk away with actionable tools for assessing their own contributions and strengths, those of teams and how to better adjust approaches to boost collaboration, reduce conflict, and drive performance.
By leveraging insights from the Belbin model effectively, organisations can create more cohesive, high-performing teams, leading to better decision-making and, ultimately, improved business outcomes.
