Because of an unwillingness to take sides, a Teamworker may not be able to take decisive action when it's needed. Since the role can be a low-profile one, the beneficial effect of a Teamworker can go unnoticed and unappreciated until they are absent, when the team begins to argue, and small but important things cease to happen. They are good listeners and diplomats, talented at smoothing over conflicts and helping parties understand one another without becoming confrontational. Teamworker A Teamworker is an oil between the cogs that keep the machine that is the team running smoothly. However, they can become very critical, damping enthusiasm for anything without logical grounds, and they have a hard time inspiring themselves or others to be passionate about their work. They take a broad view when problem-solving, and by moving slowly and analytically, will almost always come to the right decision. Data from the Belbin Team Inventory can also be amalgamated and interpreted to assess how effectively a team is likely to work together, including selecting the best candidate to fulfil each role, and identifying gaps and overlaps in the Team Role distribution which might affect a team's success. Beyond this number, individuals do not work closely enough together to constitute a team and are defined as a group. Meredith Belbin argues that the optimum size for a team is 4 people. Belbin now administers the refined Belbin Team Inventory via e-interplace, a computerised system which scores and norms the data to produce feedback reports for individuals, teams, groups and jobs.
The current schema has been refined to include a ninth style - Specialist-and in addition has renamed the Chairman behavioural style Co-ordinator and the Company Worker style Implementer (probably more for reasons of 'political correctness' rather than any identified changes in behaviour of people in these classifications). In the initial research, eight team-role behavioural styles were identified - Chairman, Shaper, Plant, Monitor-Evaluator, Company Worker, Resource Investigator, Team Worker, and Completer-Finisher. Much early research is based upon this now obsolete version of the inventory.
