The Team
You have to play to your strengths. It is rare that for anyone using a metric such as Belbin will come out as equal in all areas. This is exactly as it is meant to be and this is the purpose of teamwork.
You may be a really strong plant/ innovator, but your completer/ finisher skills may be more vulnerable. You might really dislike the tiny details and find it dull and energy lowering to attend to dotting the “i’s” and crossing all the “t’s” and this is where it’s good to surrender that job or role. Find a good completer and everyone benefits. You are freed up to innovate and energise over and over, whilst your counterpart can gain all the satisfaction they like from tying up all the ends. This can work across all the team roles in any number of combinations and it’s a really effective way of a bunch of people having worth way beyond the sum of their individual parts.
If however you are scoring fairly equally across many of the roles, then you an ideal entrepreneur. You may benefit from self-employment because you truly enjoy wearing as many hats as you can in a day. If you find yourself thriving with constant changes, you may be an individual who can easily adapt. You might be someone who loves the variety of moving between the functions of finance, marketing, design (either of a product or of the provision of a service), the networking and all the autonomy that comes with this territory.
In this case, instead of being part of a team, you ARE the team. In this case you will need another kind of nourishment.
” you cannot give away what you haven’t got”
If you do not feed yourself and your endeavours your mission will be unsustainable.
This is the time to get a mentor. Industry specific or otherwise, a mentor can bring humour, insight, empowerment and a platform of support during your journey. I would also advise being open to collegiate support. Other entrepreneurs will have encountered similar challenges to this you face. And remember, nobody does what you do in the way that you do it, so befriend your competition, they are your allies.
So either which way, as a team member or as an entrepreneur, it is important we do not try to take these professional journeys alone. Be brave enough to play to your strengths and to invite the complementary support you deserve.
