Raymond Meredith Belbin is a British researcher and management theorist best known for his work
on management teams. His research work led him to the conclusion that members of a team
choose to play certain Team Roles that contribute to Team Effectiveness, and that these roles
were distributed in a team
A team is not a bunch of people with job titles, but a congregation of individuals, each of whom
has a role which is understood by other members. Members of a team seek out certain roles and
they perform most effectively in the ones that are most natural to them Belbin
