INTRODUCTION
The word entrepreneur has originated from the French word entreprendre, which means to
undertake a charge of something. An entrepreneur is a person who owns, managers and leads a
business by taking calculated risks to achieve profits (Ratten and Usmanij, 2021). An
entrepreneur is required to perform many activities like managing risks, business management,
profit creation etc. to achieve success and growth of the enterprise. An entrepreneur needs to face
many difficulties because of the risk of a failure and intense competition in any form of business.
Personal reflection refers to the summary of experience that an individual has obtained from a
particular activity or task of longer duration according to their perspective (Geiger, 2020). e.
Personal reflection requires analytical and critical thinking that shows Through The course work
of Enterprise and Opportunity, we have studied about various phases through which an
entrepreneur needs to follow for creating a successful and harmonious venture like team
management, leadership, problem solving, communication, opportunity recognition, HRM
activities, innovativeness and creativity, intellectual property rights, business growth
opportunities, and the exit strategy. The following report will be describing the process of
creating teamwork with the help of Belbin's team role and management theories. It will also
explain about a personal experience and appraisal for the given job role in the real business
enterprise. In the end it will explain about the skills that I have developed with the help of this
module and how these skills would be helpful in the future profession/ career.
TEAM WORK
Teamwork is a group activity that involves the process of cooperating and collaborating with
other people in a group for achieving the common objectives and goals (Driskell, Salas and
Driskell, 2018). It is very important that people work in a team for achieving their desired
outcomes in the best possible manner by unison with the efforts of group individuals. It explains
that the individuals in a group must put efforts to cooperate with each other by using their skills
and provide constructive feedback to team members for improving the team performance.
Belbin team role theory was developed by Belbin in 1981, it explains that every person
develops certain behavioural tendencies when they are working within a group with other people,
and these behaviour tendencies may change according to the team requirements. Belbin team

role theory explains that there are nine different roles that must be included by a team to be
successful that consist of implementing, monitoring, team worker, coordinator, plant and many
more. The major advantage of using the Belbin team role is that an individual may have more
than one role within the team for improving the overall performance (Gonzalez and Melo 2019).
For instance, within my team there are various people who are assigned to the same role and I am
the team worker, implementer as well as a computer finisher. Some of the other team members
are also in the role of team worker, implementer etc. because it is important for handling the
teams effectively. "A powerful team works in collaboration to finish a responsibility in a
concurrent time, with every individual adding to the group as per their abilities, experience, skills
and character."
I accept that the principal perspective to an effective team project is laying out a bunch of
team rules pertinent to every person by figuring out their strengths, shortcomings and their
favoured strategy, role and methods for working within a team. I have seen this as exceptionally
valuable as it included a positive behaviour inside every individual within the team which also
supported finishing the task at the appropriate time.
As the group chief/project supervisor/operations master, I am involved in carrying out
various group activities which rely upon explicit action or circumstance, according to project's or
group' expectations. In this situation, I am generally arranging the conversation between
significant clients and my group to facilitate explaining the issue, including explicit replication
steps, and reaffirming the anticipated result. Then I drive and urge the group to concoct their own
solutions for problems and guarantee vital quality control ways to deal with being as per the
plant standards.
During the planning activities with teams, I urge all colleagues to suggest their viewpoint
and clarify their problems. And afterward I coordinate and conduct further inquiry to adjust the
group back to the company targets. It's like a looking in and looking out process so the group
could envision a greater picture as well as works as per the planned actions (Maynard and et. al.,
2018). In this present circumstance, I assume the role of team coordinating.
Sometimes, when the group creates a lot of opinions, I need to step in to assess, evaluate and
give recommendations for the group so they could pick the most appropriate decisions. In this
present circumstance, I assume the part of Monitor/Evaluator. Generally I devote and spend time
as well as energy to explore all the desired decisions and then discuss with the team members to
