R. Meredith Belbin, the author of Changing the Way We Work (Butterworth
Heinemann, £25, ISBN 0 7506 2874 X), is well known for his adventurous
ideas on successful management and team organisation at work. Here he elaborates
on a scheme to define types of work, from the traditional to the wildly
innovative, coding them by colour. Belbin has a solemn style and his writing
could do with some colour, too.
