In this book, the nine Team Roles - now familiar to managers and management trainers all over - are explored further, adding value to the original Team Role concepts. Operational strategies provide ideas, techniques and a new range of information and advice which can be used to the organisation’s advantage.

Now fully updated for today's managers and students Team Roles at Work takes the academic background of the team roles method and offers a more practical approach with a new structure and visual aids such as tables, illustrations and graphs to ease learning. Team Roles at Work offers managers a practical guide to improving their teams within the workplace to deliver significantly better results for their company, reflecting well on them as a manager, whilst also saving them time and energy, by using each team member to their best advantage to achieve overall team goals.

The application of the theory includes:

• How to manage yourself in a team
• How to create working partnerships
• How to recognise potential for the 'surprise' fit
• How to encourage interdependence between members of a team
• How the team should fit into the organisation.
