. Benefit from Belbin's own experience of putting the Team Roles method into practice

. Succinct and practical information to enable managers to make a real difference in the workplace

. Real-life case studies show how to apply the theory in practice

Meredith Belbin's unique and widely-read work on teams has become part of everyday language for organizations around the world. For every manager, getting the most from their team is paramount in achieving superior results. Belbin's vital area of management research supersedes the usual preoccupations with qualifications and experience, considering instead the Team Role behaviours which shape everyday interactions in teams.

Management Teams: Why they succeed or fail is an account of the experimental study of management teams at Henley Management College from which Belbin's unique Team Role theory developed. Now in its third edition the original theory has been fully updated and rewritten in parts by the author, with chapter summaries and updated illustrations. This is the original book by Meredith Belbin, offering the only authoritative explanation of how Belbin's world-famous Team Role language came into being.

R. Meredith Belbin was formerly Chairman of the Industrial Training Research Unit. A founder Member of Belbin Associates, he is also Visiting Professor and Honorary Fellow of Henley Management College.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Overall, the combination of Belbin's easy prose style and the use of chapter summaries means that this is a very accessible work. While the focus on empiricism will not appeal to all readers, it provides a fascinating insight into the development of one of the most influential management theories of our time.'

Rob Palethorpe, Industrial and Commercial Training Journal

3.0 out of 5 stars History and background, December 28, 2010
This review is from: Management Teams: Why they succeed or fail (Paperback)
This book caters to "Specialists" wanting deeper background and history on how the research was conducted that led to Belbin Team Roles theory. The chapters on unsuccessful teams, winning teams and designing a team offer models that are useful for comparison. Those wanting something more geared to application would do better to read Team Roles at Work.
