For the last 20 years since the publication of Management teams, why they succeed of fail, Meredith Belbin has been the name in the dynamics of workgroups. He has advised the OECD, the US Department of Labor, the Commission of the EEC and many manufacturing companies and public organizations. He is also senior associate of the Institute of Management Studies in Cambridge and visiting professor in Leadership at Exeter University. Belbin's specialty is seeing to the heart of the behaviour of individuals within teams, and how the interaction between those individuals can make or break the team.

Belbin: Beyond the team.
Organizational insights from around the world as Belbin dips into the nature of the organization.  New 15 December 2000

Changing the way we work.
Examines the nature of work itself and provides a tool to structure jobs and people more effectively. Tasks are classified into colours - BLUE work (task orientated and structured), YELLOW (personal responsibility), Grey (unstructured), WHITE (future) and Orange (team responsibility). Perhaps Belbin's urge for classification went a little over the top here, but still interesting.  New 15 December 2000

The coming shape of the organization.
This text explains, using the analogies of the ant and bee, the emerging organizational structures, and discusses ways in which new ideas of concurrent decision-making and team empowerment can replace traditional hierarchies. It outlines ways in which continuous deployment and career development would result in more effective use of peoples' talents. New 15 December 2000

Management teams: why they succeed and fail.
Belbin's original work on the subject, still worth reading for its insights into the importance of team building and how to make the most of management teams.   New 15 December 2000

Managing without power.
As organizations and the nature of power change, we need to manage using influence, negotiation and leadership rather than the power of authority. Belbin's new book (due out in March 2001 but available for order now) examines the nature of this new approach to management.   New 15 December 2000

Team roles at work.
Belbin's definitive subject with his classification of the different roles that individuals can take in teams and how different combinations of those role can make for effective groupings.   New 15 December 2000
