About the Author

R. Meredith Belbin

Reviews

'I enjoyed its broad sweep, stimulating ideas and nuggets of prehistory information'
John Adair

'The 21st century need for radically new approaches to management and leadership is painfully clear. Meredith Belbin brilliantly links this need with basic human psychology to arrive at a powerfully convincing picture of the shape of things that must come.'
Robert Heller

'This book offers an intensely personal but intelligent view on where society has come from and where it might be headed. Belbin has consulted many academic sources and has managed to produce an authoritative, yet accessible book that will provoke discussion of an important, but neglected topic. Every reader may not agree with what he writes, but this polymath is always interesting and readable.'
Hadyn Ingram - International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management

Dr Meredith Belbin has to be the best-known name in research into team dynamics overs the last decade or so.
