Management Teams - Why They Succeed or Fail
Management Teams - Why They Succeed or Fail provides an informative introduction to Team Role theory. It is one of the most widely-read, imaginative and influential books on this vital area of management research and was cited by the Financial Times as one of the top fifty business books of all time.
Meredith Belbin’s work on teams has become part of everyday language in organisations all over the world.
Management Teams (2nd ed.) is required reading for managers concerned with achieving the best results from those who report to them. The first edition is one of the most widely-read, imaginative and influential books on this vital area of management research and was cited by the FT as one of the top 50 business books of all time.
The second edition includes eleven case studies, plus a new chapter describing how Team Role theory was put into practice in the intervening years between the two editions.
All kinds of teams and team behaviours are covered, including:
The Apollo Syndrome
Creativity
Team Leadership
Improving Unsuccessful Teams
Winning Teams
Team Size
Designing a Team
Teams in Public Affairs
The second edition of the book also contains a free online Belbin assessment (worth £30). This is to replace the obsolete self-scoring Self-Perception Inventory, which is out-of-date, is not fully normed and is lacking the Specialist role.
