Dr Meredith Belbin, creator of the well-known management theory Belbin team roles inventory, spoke to students, HR professionals and business leaders in the North West at the University.
At a breakfast meeting, in association with the CIPD centenary year, Dr Belbin focused on how to improve organisational structures and ensure team effectiveness in today’s ever-changing world.
Vast experience
Dr Belbin also shared his vast experience and expertise with MSc students from the Management School. He spoke to them about his thinking on traditional hierarchical structures and how to build successful self-managed teams.
Jennifer Johnson, Director of the Management School’s MSc HR programme, said: “It was a privilege for the most well-known management theorists, Dr Belbin, to come to the University. He gave one of the most engaging and inspiring talks I have ever listened to.”
Dr Meredith Belbin is best known for his book Management Teams which identified nine key roles in an effective team. He has worked with major global businesses and national government from across the world including Russia and China.
