Gives an account of the experimental study of management teams at Henley Management College from which the authors unique Team Role theory developed. This title includes numerous real world case studies that show how to apply the theory to real situations. '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.'
