Qns:Using the Belbin’s model to describe your team, what are the steps you can put into place to ensure that the team moves from whichever stage you are at now, to stage 4?
Ans:
Using Belbin's model, Arvind - coordinator Helmi - Resource Investigator Fandra - The Specialist Pei Yi - Energy Plant and Me - coordinator /completer This is because most of the time, there are some shocking news or activities from Helmi therefore I labelled him Resource Investigator, For Fandra will be specialist this is because she often will do things on her own and not contributing much during the team discussion, for Arvind will be coordinator as he sometimes acts like a leader at some point of time and for me, I give myself the role of coordinator, as I also will give instruction to how one should be done and I give myself a completer is because even if I cannot finish the task on time some times, I would just PUSH so as that I will be able to finish in the end.
The team is in between stage 1 and stage 2. Reason?
1. Some of the team members are still very friendly to one another and not willing to point out anything that might contradicts each other.
2. Some of the team members are ready to PUSH all the way and only know the parts of their own. Not willing to share what they have learn to other, which resulted that other members could not learn much.
3. Some of the team members actually is willing to understand what is going on and what the other team members is going to present during the presentation. But because of a few people who are not willing to share, which causes the whole team to be unable to proceed to another level. Therefore, in order for the whole team to proceed all the way to stage 4, I need to be willing to talk aloud of my thoughts so as to get the other team members to share with the rest of the team mates.
Even though all of us might not get what and why I am doing that way, I think that is one way to get them to be have mutual understanding and knowledge of what other people are going to say or present. Maybe like what we discuss during the lesson, everyone might be switching their roles all the time therefore with a change of roles, there will be other problems that will arise. =)
