Improving Your Team Balance
All members of a team have dual roles.
- The first role, the functional one, is because they are an accountant, an engineer or a sales person. We measure effectiveness through professional competence.
- The second role concerns their ability to plan for the group or socialise or set the standards. We measure this through Team Roles. Understanding team roles helps us both analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the team and see how individuals can contribute.
Team role profiling offers you the opportunity to exploit the diversity of any group. It can bring balance and confidence to team members and help them achieve success. Football managers spend a fortune trying to do this-you do not have to. Team role profiling will help you with some key questions:
- Are the team playing to their strengths
- Does the team deliver on time?
- Is the quality of service up to standard
