FINAL DESIGN 5: My own personal Belbin Theory

 

Looking back on Belbin’s team roles (Belbin 2012), it’s easy to see that after the investigating in this project- these team roles are not amazingly accurate. You generally relate to one quite strongly but not without definite smattering of others. And my personal theory is that these are not built in behavioural traits that always stay cemented in place. In this team I was seen as a resource investigator pretty strongly, but just in this same semsester I found that I took on the co-ordinator’s role in another group assignment because no one else had. And I fitted into it well- we did well on the assignment and got our presentation finished early. The more I investigate into the other roles, the more I find I have been that at one time or another. I find it depends on all outside factors like the ones mentioned in the Activity Theory. Your communities, subjects and outcomes all manipulate what the project is and what team role you might unconsciously take on.
