Belbin’s View
Natural or preferred roles
Manageable roles
Least preferred roles
Look for big differences between self-ratings and observer ratings.
Comparing Self and Observer
Perceptions
Hidden strengths - strengths that people don’t recognize in themselves - are potential assets that are going to waste
A Ferrari in My Garage?
What about the other difference?

or a FAKE Ferrari?
Importance of
CoherenceCoherence =How well YOUR ratings match those of your observers
High coherence means you are more self-aware and effectively working with others (playing to your true strengths). Perfect alignment is impossible.
Live PollLook at p. 5 (Comparing Self and Observer Perceptions) in your own report.
How many of you have a true Ferrari, how many have a fake Ferrari, and how many are well matched for all ratings?I have a true Ferrari-in-my-garageI have a fake FerrariMy assessments match those of my observers
True Ferrari: Observer rating is 30 points or more higher than self-rating.
Fake Ferrari: Self-rating is 30 points or more higher than observer ratings.
Your Team Role Preferences
In this example, the person feels they excel at three roles (RI, CO, TW), and have little aptitude for four roles (SH, ME, IMP, CF).
