Team Roles: The Four Player Model

  Team Roles: The Four Player Model
 

Sometimes we take on a certain role, such as “devil’s advocate,” or opposer, and then get stuck in the role and play that part repeatedly. Other times it may be observer, or “by-stander”. A highly functioning team benefits from the presence of four key roles, or
the Four Player Model based on the work of David Kantor, a family systems theorist with MIT.

This workshop will provide:

  • understanding of the four essential roles in a highly functioning team
  • increased awareness of your own default role
  • deliberate role changing to advance the progress of a group
  • neutralize the impact that a role will have on you
  • develop staff to broaden their scope, or range of role styles
