How to Keep
Dialogue Flowing during Crisis.
Xenergie's 1 day Renewal & Transformation
Event - Finding Your Feet in Change.
The worst thing leaders can do during times of crisis is remain silent or repress the need for people to talk. Even when you don't have a clear line of direction as to what the future holds, keeping the lines of communication open is key.
Xenergie offers a 1-day faclitation event to engage teams in meaningful dialogue about change, share their experiences and concerns and make and take a role of contribution in change.
With the calming and objective influence of an experienced group relations facilitator, this one day event will help your team focus on what they can control - rather than on what they can't.
Life is a game of inches and the difference you make starts with the inch of attitude in front of you ...
Purpose of the day: to energise the team through a period of uncertainty and understand the cycles and stages of change.

Belbin Team Role Accreditation 3/4th March 2009
"Uncertainty is spreading round the nation like a virus in a creche" (Irish Independent 4.2.09). There's nothing like a crisis to put a focus on teamwork and trust, but in a crisis the pressure is high, trust is in smithereens and nerves are thin.
Critical to team success in such times is an understanding of where to focus effort and where the skills lie within the team. Also, the ability to communicate and overcome difference swiftly and respectfully, in order to achieve new results. Teams members with low self awareness and unclear understanding of interpersonal behaviour will sink like the Titanic under today's pressure. Make sure yours are empowered and your leaders fit to lead.
XenerGie Consulting Ltd, is the main accredited and certified team consultancy in Ireland for Belbin Team Role profiling, training and team coaching, a methodology that is used by companies worldwide to increase team success. The extent to which team role profiling and training in team work results in a sharp increase in team performance was demonstrated using predictive validity by Prof. Meredith Belbin and his associates over a span of 15 years of empirical research with business teams.
No one would dispute the importance of making teams work more effectively, but most previous research about how to do so has focused on identifying the task processes that distinguish the most successful teams - rather than the diversity of behaviours and interactions of roles necessary for success.
Today, researchers recognise that to be most effective teams need to create supportive and collaborative behaviours for building trust, group identity, and efficacy. As we move into a new paradigm where collaboration and co-creation is the doorway to the future in business, Belbin Team Role awareness is a must for anyone who will be involved in such work.
This is a rare opportunity to join a public course for official accreditation in the Belbin Team Role methodology currently the only opportunity in Ireland.
For those already accredited in Belbin, we also offer an advanced course - Certification in Team Coaching - a group relations methodology which will enables internal and external coaches to apply Belbin in practice and facilitate team breakthrough. |

What is Barack Obama Belbin Leadership Profile?
by 3Circle Partners
 3Circle Partners with the Globe and Mail, Canada's newspaper of record, in its coverage of the U.S. and Canadian elections asked a panel of experts and the public to evaluate Barack Obama's leadership style using Belbin as a methodology.
Both panels viewed him as a being a natural communicator, broad in outlook (RI), and a good coordinator (CO) as well as an ideas person (PL). The two idea generating roles are Plant and Resource Investigator and he showed strength in both of these roles.
The expert panel results showed Barack's ability to bring the best out of people (CO) and as being innovative, enterprising and broad in outlook. His combination of coordination and idea-generation skills has to be carefully managed. He will be good at spotting talent and seeing how different people may best contribute to addressing complex problems he will face in his new role.
Expert Panel Results: PL, RI, CO, SH, ME, TW, IMP, CF, SP

What are the benefits of identifying team Roles?
Applying Belbin Team Roles in the workplace
 Dr Meredith Belbin originated the concept of team roles in his books Management Teams: Why They Succeed or Fail (Butterworth Heinemann 1981) and Team Roles at Work (Butterworth Heinemann 1993). Belbin defined a team role as:
"a pattern of behaviour characteristic of the way in which one team member interacts with another where performance serves to facilitate the progress of the team as a whole. The value of team-role theory lies in enabling an individual or team to benefit from self knowledge and adjust according to the demands being made by the external situation."
