roles(Batenburg, van Walbeek& in der Maur, 2013). The action-oriented roles comprise of
shaper, completer finisher and implementer characters. While the people-oriented roles
comprise of individuals characterizes teamwork, resource investigation and harmonization.
The thought-oriented roles involve plant, monitor evaluation and expert. During team
building, the Belbin model is considered as an effective tool to ensure improved level of team
building processes(Gold et al., 2013). Belbin is globally regarded as the yardstick for

its unique team building approaches, which further works to create a culture, which succeeds
through effective team building as well as team performance. Once these patterns are easily
comprehended, they facilitate teams to evaluate its weaknesses and further advantage its
beneficial factors within the team.
