Task: Three areas of team roles
The nine roles that we have seen can be categorised into three areas:
The first category of roles focuses on action: These roles are about making sure the team stays motivated and that things get done.
The next group of roles has a people-orientation: These roles make sure that people inside and outside of the team feel connected and are in the right place.
The third group has a thought-orientation: These members of the team make sure that there are enough ideas and knowledge in the team in order to come up with good solutions and to avoid mistakes.
Which team role would you place in which area? You should come up with three roles for each. Please move the groups of team roles into the correct area.
