Description
An internationally renowned author offers an overview of how people and jobs can best be connected in a new era.
'Beyond the Team' draws
on Meredith Belbin's extensive work with organizations worldwide to give further insights into the workings of teams and groups. The
modern job needs to be actively interpreted and constantly revised in terms of the balance between a team role, a work role and a professional
role. The increasingly complex demands of modern jobs can be aided by a colour system as tested in international trials. A colour based
top down, bottom up form of communication creates sensitive feedback with a special value where members of a workforce do not share common
language. The socially complex nature of communication about work in a new era offers parallels with the intricacies of the social insect
world. Information technology is extending human networking with the potential of creating a form of organization closer to what can
be achieved in superorganisms.
'Beyond the Team' shows how eventually, the mature team can learn to distribute work between its own
members by giving a comprehensive understanding of how to manage both team roles and work roles.
Audience
HR Managers, trainers, facilitators, students of management.
