Which of the following is NOT a role identified by Belbin?

  1. Innovator

  2. Shaper

  3. Plant

  4. Completer/finisher

The correct answer is: Innovator

Belbin's team roles are a model created to understand how individuals can work effectively in teams. The roles he identified include categories like 'Shaper,' 'Plant,' and 'Completer/Finisher.' Each of these roles has specific characteristics and functions within a team environment. The 'Shaper' is known for being dynamic and challenging, pushing the team towards its goals. The 'Plant' is often the creative thinker who comes up with new ideas and solutions. The 'Completer/Finisher' plays a critical role in ensuring that work is completed thoroughly and on time, focusing on detail and quality. The term 'Innovator' is not recognized as one of Belbin's specific roles. Instead, Belbin categorizes roles more clearly based on their contributions to team dynamics and does not specifically include 'Innovator' in his framework. Thus, identifying 'Innovator' as not being one of Belbin's roles highlights an important aspect of understanding team contributions and the established frameworks that describe them.
