Belbin and E&E

My role was the assistant manager. In the Belbin test I had the strongest likeness with the Team Worker Pro file.
As we had to come up with an initial idea for business, we all sat down and generated ideas as a group, when we were finally happy with our idea, we came up with a list of tasks in order to realise the product: plan team meetings, and set ourselves goals and deadlines, we had to set weekly meetings to manage. Our time effectively. From this, each of out team chose which tasks we wanted to do and this then determined which job roles we were titled ourselves under which consisted of Management Research and Development, Finance, Marketing, Product Design, Product Development and Branding. Because I was a pushy character from the beginning, Myself and the whole team agreed that My Natural role would be Managing Director. As I was Managing the group, I thought each team member would feel more responsibility towards each of their own tasks if they chose it themselves for them to feel more accountable for each of their own task, each of which were vital to the completion of the project. As I thought communicating was a Key part of this project, I set up a written blog Where each member of the team would be able to post concerns, queries questions, findings to keep in touch with each other. This I also thought would be motivating for members to acknowledge each other’s progess. As I was the Managing Director (Assisstant to the Project Leader) of the project, this project help me come out of my shell as I had to interact with the team on a regular basis and surprisingly at the time it came very naturally to me. When I talked with my peers after the project, the only criticisms are that I could have listened to my team more and that would have aided lubrication of progress more within the project in communication and stress levels. I will take this on board for any future projects that I do.
