Create a simple response with references and citations in apa 7th edition format.

Examine Table 14.1 Belbin's Team Roles from Chapter 14 in the textbook and select which role you consider is most like your own style when working on a project. Explain why you typically find yourself in this role. Consider another role you would like to see yourself take so you can grow professionally and describe the benefits of working in this role on a team.

The role I consider is most like my own style when working on a project would be the implementer, shaper, and completer/finisher and I have team worker, coordinator and resource investigator tendencies.

Thinking/problemsolving:

  1. Implementer: Disciplined, reliable, conservative and efficient. Practical organizer, good at turning decisions and strategies into manageable tasks/practical actions. Systematic and methodical worker. Well organized and predictable. Takes basic ideas and makes them work in practice.
  2. Shaper: Dynamic, outgoing, challenges, pressurizes, seeks ways around obstacles. Outgoing and emotional, highly strung, quick to respond to a challenge. Good at making things happen and is driven by results. Lots of energy and action, challenging others to move forwards.
  3. Completer/finisher: Painstaking, conscientious, anxious. Searches out errors and omissions. Attention to detail, makes sure nothing is overlooked. Maintains a sense of urgency, good at time keeping. A capacity for fulfilling their promises and working to the highest standards. Reliably sees things through to the end, ironing out the wrinkles and ensuring everything works well.

Doing/acting:

  1. Coordinator: Mature, confident and trusting. A good chairman. Clarifies goals, promotes decision making. Calm, confident and self-controlled. A capacity for involving everyone and ensuring the team meets its objectives. Respected leader who helps everyone focus on their task.
  2. Team worker: Social, mild, perceptive, accommodating. The 'social oil' of the team. Concerned with people's welfare and good at promoting team spirit. Averts friction. Cares for individuals and the team. Good listener and works to resolve social problems.
  3. Resource investigator: Extrovert, enthusiastic, communicative. Explores opportunities. Develops contacts. Good at exploring anything new. Enjoys new and challenging situations. Relaxed and easygoing. Explores new ideas and possibilities with energy and with others. Good networker.

Controlling/Organizing: This team role is directive and has a need to set the agenda and make autocratic decisions. It is important that a team includes this role to give direction and focus for tasks, but other team members must be aware that this can become a dominating style if left unchecked. Also, there can be conflicts and disagreements if there is more than one of this type in a team.
