A newly formed project team has a strong ideas person, a methodical person who checks details and follows tasks through, and a person who coordinates the others and delegates well. Using Belbin's team roles, which set of roles do these three members MOST closely represent?

Plant, Completer-Finisher, Co-ordinator. The ideas generator is a Plant, the detail-checker who sees tasks through is a Completer-Finisher, and the member who coordinates and delegates is a Co-ordinator. The other options describe different Belbin roles such as Shaper, Teamworker or Specialist.

  1. APlant, Completer-Finisher, Co-ordinatorCorrect
  2. BShaper, Implementer, Resource Investigator
  3. CMonitor-Evaluator, Teamworker, Specialist

Explanation

A creative ideas person is a Plant. A detail-focused member who ensures tasks are finished accurately is a Completer-Finisher. A member who coordinates and delegates is a Co-ordinator. The other sets do not match these descriptions, as a Shaper is driven and challenging and a Resource Investigator explores outside contacts.
