# Talk:Team effectiveness

A number of team effectiveness models are included here (e.g. Katzenbach & Smith, Lencioni). I suggest that the Belbin model should be included as it is has been a world-renowned theory of team effectiveness since the 1980s. Suitable links for citation would be: https://www.belbin.com/about or  https://www.belbin.com/about/belbin-team-roles
@Proclasher97 has indicated that https://www.belbin.com is too promotional for this purpose. I note that the link to Lencioni's model (https://www.tablegroup.com/product/dysfunctions/) is similar in tone, advertising products and services.
I suggest that both theories are given the same treatment, even if that involves a different citation for each. Victoria at Belbin (talk) 14:08, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

I've become aware of this through a help request on IRC, and I'm of the opinion that this sentence is a) almost inviting spam additions, and b) not well integrated into the wider article. It's not clear that this is something relevant to the specific focus of this article. I'm gonna WP:BOLDly remove it entirely, which should resolve the fairness complaint that you seem to have here as well as hopefully improving the article more widely. Iff there's sufficient sources in existence, it might be good to have a separate article discussing the different models while this one focuses on the concept as a whole? Specifically for you, Victoria at Belbin, this would still mean we don't want you pushing links to your own company. stwalkerster (talk) 12:47, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
