Who is Working with Team Role Preferences for?

This exercise will be useful for any team that wants to boost its productivity. The exercise can be used by workshop leaders and facilities, or self-organised by the team or the team leader.

How does it help with Increasing Team Productivity?

Once the team understand everyone's team role preferences, they can better organise the work to play to those preferences. When people can work in the way they like best, they are likely to be more energised and motivated. 

The exercise is especially useful when the nature of the team work or task changes, but team members don't! It can help clarify any mis-match between existing team member preferences and the new nature of the team task. This allows some crafting of role to task, and the identification of significant gaps for recruitment purposes.
