Belbin’s de-construction of the team into nine team roles will be a familiar
concept for managers and management trainers across the world and
understanding how the different team-roles work together, to optimise
efficiency and effectiveness, is something many managers will have been
tasked with in these financially constrained times.
Authored by Meredith Belbin, who undertook the original research into team
roles, this second edition offers a distillation of a great deal of new practical
experience gained by interviewing and working with hundreds of teams
worldwide, therefore providing great insight into best practice for applying the
original theory.
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.

Why they succeed or fail , 3rd Edition

Every manager needs to be able to get the most from their teams for projects
to be cost and time effective, but in today’s world staff turnover is high and
employees move between companies often, so they need to be able to get
up to speed in a new team efficiently. However, too often corporations are
preoccupied with qualifications and experience and practical traits are
neglected because it is impossible to find the ‘perfect’ employee who
posseses all the traits deemed to be necessary.
Meredith Belbin’s work on teams has become part of everyday language for
managers around the world because it addresses these issues with the nine
Team Roles method. The Management of Teams, third edition, is a
practical introduction to the Team Role method, written with the manager in
mind to help them understand why this method could improve the
effectiveness of their teams based on a rigorous, academically sound
framework for today’s business.
Now in its third edition it has been completely rewritten and fully updated for
managers and trainers, with succinct, practical information which
demonstrates how to apply management theory learned into practical action
to make a real difference in the workplace.

Publication Date:

Inspection, testing and certification is a legal requirement for a large part of
electrical work carried out. This affects not only electricians but also
plumbers, kitchen fitters, alarm installers etc. They need to register with a
competent person scheme and this drives demand for inspection and testing
courses, such as C&G 2391, and coursebooks.
This extremely popular book takes a practical approach and this is what sets
it apart from the competition and is why customers have found it so useful.
Tests are illustrated step-by-step with lots of 'real-world' photographs and
clear examples show how to verify recorded test results. While official
publications from the IEE/IET and NICEIC give all the technical details and
tell the reader what they need to do, they do not show them how to do it.
The book covers the complete C&G 2391 syllabus in plain language. It is the
ideal study guide providing all the theory, sample questions and answers,
and clear procedures to help pass the practical exam. Advice is also given on
how to overcome problems encountered on the job making it the perfect
reference book for those who have already qualified but would like a quick
reminder to theory and procedures.

buildings and libraries. For each type the book gives the basic design
requirements and all the principal dimensional data, as well as succinct
guidance on how to use the information and what regulations the designer
may need to be aware of.
As well as buildings the Metric Handbook deals with broader aspects of
design such as materials, acoustics and lighting, and general design data on
human dimensions and space requirements.
The Metric Handbook is a unique authoritative reference for solving everyday
planning problems. It has sold well over 100,000 copies worldwide to
