How to Coach Yourself and Others Essential Knowledge For Coaching | Página 454

It is important to bear in mind that Belbin's roles are not something
anyone is born into. They do not mean that, if you spot one or more of
the characteristics in yourself or others, you must maintain a certain
role. The roles are rather like acting roles in that they can be chosen and
played. Indeed, in many groups – of smaller than eight people – some
members need to play more than one role, switching between roles
according to the needs of the team and the task. Changing roles from
time to time is not only possible, but sometimes necessary as we change
jobs and teams. Having said this, most people do tend to have a preferred
first role, one that they feel most comfortable with. Can you recognise
from the descriptions and characteristics which role you would tend to
feel comfortable with? Could you manage to play any of the other roles
without too much of a problem?
