3. Understanding Team Dynamics and Team Roles (Belbin’s Team
Roles)
Belbin describes a team role as - a tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a
particular way.
The 9 Team Roles were developed by Dr. Meredith Belbin, a British researcher in management and
team development.
Belbin’s Team Roles theory is based on his study of successful teams at Henley Business School
in the 1970s. He found that teams work best when members take on different, complementary roles.
His model is widely used in business, project management, and leadership training to improve team
performance and collaboration.

5. Stages of Team Development
Forming 🤝 (Getting Started)
🔹 Team members meet, understand objectives,
and set expectations.
🔹 High dependence on the leader for guidance.
🔹 Uncertainty and polite interactions.
Storming (
⚡ Conflicts & Challenges)
🔹 Differences emerge, leading to conflicts and
power struggles.
🔹 Resistance to rules and roles may occur.
🔹 Leadership plays a key role in resolving disputes.
Norming ✅ (Building Cooperation)
🔹 Team members start trusting each other.
🔹 Roles and responsibilities become clear.
🔹 Collaboration improves, and conflicts reduce.
Performing 🚀 (High Productivity)
🔹 The team works efficiently with minimal
supervision.
🔹 Strong cooperation, problem-solving, and
innovation.
🔹 The leader focuses on strategic guidance rather
than micromanagement.
Adjourning (
🎭 Project Completion & Reflection)
🔹 The team disbands after achieving its goal.
🔹 Some members may feel a sense of loss.
🔹 A final review and celebration of achievements
take place.

✅ Virtual Team Management refers to leading, organizing, and coordinating
a team that works remotely, often across different locations and time zones. It
involves using digital tools, setting clear goals, and maintaining productivity
without in-person interactions.
✅ Remote Collaboration is the process of working together virtually using
technology like video conferencing, cloud-based tools, and communication
platforms to complete tasks and achieve shared objectives.
