Benefit from Belbin's own experience of putting the Team Roles method into practiceSuccinct and practical information to enable managers to make a real difference in the workplaceReal-life case studies show how to apply the theory in practice Meredith Belbin's unique and widely-read work on teams has become part of everyday language for organizations around the world. For every manager, getting the most from their team is paramount in achieving superior results.

Management Teams: Why they succeed or fail is an account of the experimental study of management teams at Henley Management College from which Belbin's unique Team Role theory developed. Now in its third edition the original theory has been fully updated and rewritten in parts by the author, with chapter summaries and updated illustrations.

Reviews / Votes
'Overall, the combination of Belbin's easy prose style and the use of chapter summaries means that this is a very accessible work. While the focus on empiricism will not appeal to all readers, it provides a fascinating insight into the development of one of the most influential management theories of our time.'Rob Palethorpe, Industrial and Commercial Training Journal
