Third Edition

By
R Meredith Belbin, Belbin Associates

Description


Every manager needs to be able to get the most from their teams for projects to be cost and time effective, but in today?s world staff turnover is high and employees move between companies often, so they need to be able to get up to speed in a new team efficiently.  However, too often corporations are preoccupied with qualifications and experience and practical traits are neglected because it is impossible to find the ?perfect? employee who posseses all the traits deemed to be necessary.

Meredith Belbin?s work on teams has become part of everyday language for managers around the world because it addresses these issues with the nine Team Roles method. The Management of Teams, third edition, is a practical introduction to the Team Role method, written with the manager in mind to help them understand why this method could improve the effectiveness of their teams based on a rigorous, academically sound framework for today?s business.

Now in its third edition it has been completely rewritten and fully updated for managers and trainers, with succinct, practical information which demonstrates how to apply management theory learned into practical action to make a real difference in the workplace.
