Belbin types | Balanced teams | So what?

These functions are activities that take place within teams.

So what?

There are close similarities with the Belbin roles, although they are not identical.

The underlying system is based on the Jungian Type Inventory.

The message is the same: Understand the preferred roles of people on the team. Play to people's strengths. Get a good balance of people on a team, not just one type.
