Team Roles

Just to remind myself of my Belbin roles:
1. Implementer
2. Monitor Evaluator
3. Plant

For the past few lessons, we have been assessing our roles in our groups. To create the ideal team, it would be best to have every one of the proposed Belbin roles in our group.

So.. for Younicorns.. All of us are monitor evaluators. This would explain why we have such long discussions. Because we are all so meticulous over every small detail and consider every opportunity, but sometimes they go abit far. Which is why we have decided that we should put a time limit to our discussions.

We also have 3 plants (Jia Yi, Mia and I), which bring creative, imaginative ideas to the group. However  plants may lack attention to detail, which is funny because we are also monitor evaluators which pay great attention to detail, so this two roles which we possess would even us out.

We have our shaper, Jacelyn, whom usually takes the lead, and is the driving force in the group. Shapers may tend to be over pushy so luckily we have Mia who is a team worker to tone Jacelyn down. Mia is also flexible and seems to be like the glue that brings us together as a group, but can be indecisive at times.

Then we have, me, who is an implementor along with Jia Yi. Implementors are generally organised and not afraid of hard work but are dull and inflexible. Well, I do not think that I am dull, but I agree that I am rather inflexible and do not really like changes that might interfere with our plans.

We have no specialists! But we do not mind it so much as they only contribute to their area of expertise and we would prefer someone who could contribute all roundedly.

We seem to have a strong focus on the thinking roles which we consider to be a very good thing. This is because much of our marks are graded based on our thinking skills than our actions and the success of our outcomes.
