Sharing: Nine Roles in a Team

Dr. Bobbin of Cambridge University defines team role as:? The behavior and contribution of individuals in the group, as well as the tendency of interpersonal communication.

Each team has two very happy people. When others are depressed, they always tell a joke. We call this role "pistachio". In fact, pistachio is a natural role orientation, and people in the team will look for them when they are in a bad mood.

Some people are the wise men in the team. He can always jump out and give some good ideas at critical moments, even if he is not planning this position.

Similarly, there may be a particularly picky person who can always tell you what is wrong, even if his post is not quality inspection, but this is his behavioral contribution in the team and his tendency in interpersonal communication.

So when is responsibility more important and when is role more important?

Take football as an example, each team will have multiple positions such as striker and defender, but when attacking, players will press on according to the formation, and they can shoot as long as they grab the point, not necessarily the position of striker.

So when attacking, what the team needs is a role. Every team may have a passer, a man who controls the midfield and a captain who is the soul of the field. These are roles rather than responsibilities.

But when defending, all the players immediately take their positions and return to their points. His goal is not to allow anyone to pass through his area and to prevent death. At this time, the team needs more functions.

Did you find out? In offensive and uncertain scenes, roles and tacit understanding become very important; In those definite and relatively clear scenes, function becomes very important. Therefore, what an organization emphasizes most is cooperation. As long as you clearly know what is the offensive scene and what is the defensive scene. For example, if you are in finance, most of the time, what you need is a functional role.

Therefore, the more uncertain and changeable your role is, the more important you will become, even beyond your functional position.

This situation is called "role effect". ?

Psychologists have found that two identical twin girls are similar in appearance and grew up in the same family and educational environment, but their personalities are quite different. My sister is cheerful and enthusiastic about people; My sister, on the other hand, lacks self-determination, often relies on others and is not sociable. What caused the personality differences between the two sisters?

The main reason is that their roles are different-although they were born a minute or two apart, their parents have different attitudes towards them. They will acquiesce to the husband's sister, the younger sister. Sister should take care of her sister and make her listen to her at the same time. Under such expectation, my sister became more and more independent and became a protective role, while my sister became more and more weak and became a protected role.

You can see how important the expectations of adults are to the shaping of individuals. Similarly,? In the workplace, your role orientation will also affect the expectations of others.

When I was in college, I always felt that I had a special social atmosphere and pretended to be mature. Now that I'm grown up, I think it's ridiculous to look back. Because at that time, others knew you were a student at a glance. Why? Because of the role of students, you can speak and act like students. This is the role effect we are talking about today.

In the team, there are many different roles waiting for you to play. As mentioned earlier, Dr. Berbin divided the team into nine roles. This is probably the most classic role theory in the world, which is divided into:

Smart stars, people who bring new ideas to the team;

Examiner, he will constantly evaluate Zhi Duoxing's ideas;

Coordinator, tap the talents of development team members;

Executor, improve and promote the workflow;

The finisher strives for perfection in everything;

Diplomats can always understand the internal situation and external needs of the team;

Spurs can make the team full of motivation;

The coalescer can create a good atmosphere and strengthen communication within the team;

Professionals, dedicated to their own fields of work.

A person can play many roles, and each role is not necessarily played by only one person, and it can even be converted to each other at critical times.

If you are interested, I attached a very detailed picture at the back of the article, explaining these roles. You can also find a test online and do this evaluation with your friends in the team. It's actually quite interesting.

China's Role Classification —— Morality, Intelligence, Ability and Labor

Nine roles may be a bit difficult. I'll teach you a simpler method, which is more suitable for China people-morality, intelligence, ability and labor.

Take the Buddhist scripture team in Journey to the West as an example. Look at Tang Priest. This man is only good at Amitabha, but he has a clear vision of going to the West to learn from the Buddhist scriptures. He is a moral man, and he was persuaded by morality rather than spells.

The Monkey King is the strongest in the team. If the Monkey King is a modern tough and dedicated marketing expert or professional manager, he is omnipotent.

Pig Bajie is a typical type of office director. He usually likes to be lazy and flatter, always ordering Friar Sand to do this and that, but he will stick to his position of life and death and come up with many good ideas. He is a clever man.

As for Sha Wujing, this is the least ambitious person in the team. By that time, he will be off work and have no interest in the company's vision. He just wants a stable salary. But if there is no such person to maintain business operations and administrative affairs, it will be a mess, so he is a worker.

On the surface, it seems that everyone else can do it, such as leading a horse, carrying a burden, and exorcising demons, but this role is the internal logic of the team, and these four people are indispensable.

Morality, intelligence, ability and labor, what is your role in the team? If you know all kinds of roles in the team, who should you play?
