The Nine Belbin Roles

The Nine Belbin Team Roles describe different ways individuals contribute to a team’s success. Each role highlights a unique set of strengths: some focus on generating ideas (Plant), organizing and managing tasks (Coordinator), building relationships and motivating others (Teamworker), ensuring tasks are completed (Implementer), offering practical solutions (Completer-Finisher), analyzing problems (Monitor-Evaluator), bringing creativity (Resource Investigator), providing expertise (Specialist), and taking the lead when needed (Shaper). Understanding these roles helps teams balance skills, improve collaboration, and achieve goals more effectively by leveraging each member’s natural contributions.
