Belbin suggested that by understanding your team role within a particular team we can develop our strengths and manage our weaknesses as a team member and improve how you contribute to the team. Team Leader and Team Development Leaders will often use Belbins tool and approach to help create more balanced teams. Belbin's "team-roles" are based on observed behavior and interpersonal styles. Belbin suggests that people tend to adopt a particular team-role, bear in mind that your behavior and interpersonal style within a team is to some extent dependent on the situation: It relates not only to your own natural working style, but also to your interrelationships with others, and the work being done.
