Belbin Guide to Succeeding at Work

The Belbin Guide to Succeeding at Work uses the language of Belbin Team Theory to convey career management tips in a straightforward, no-flannel and endearing manner that you expect from Belbin. Whether just embarking on your career or if you are looking at ways to get that next promotion, The Belbin Guide to Succeeding at Work will help you understand how to start making a difference.  The book is crammed full of advice on those thorny issues that you will need to master to be able to climb the career ladder e.g;

  • Understanding yourself and work style and where your input will get you favourably noticed
  • Recognising why some work relationships are easier than others and why some people and situation are just plain difficult!
  • Learning how to deal with others at work and the culture of the organisation.

‘There are some real gems in the book, particularly the sections on how to handle difficult people and assessing organisational culture. This is a must read for all, providing a good foundation for understanding team dynamics and how managers can use Team Role theory to enhance the effectiveness of both individuals and teams in the workplace.’

Elwyn Thomas - Arup Associate Director

‘It also contains so much common sense on managing stress and dealing with difficult people that it should be available on prescription.’
