His formula for differentiating retirement from unemployment anticipatesthe next step toward systematic investigation of the retirementprocessthe development of conceptual models to guide investigation.Those who move ahead with this task will feel the loss of Dr. Brinser's keen insight, his readiness p,nd capacity tocross disciplinary lines, his in- tense involvement with the task at hand, and hiswarm and generous self. Acknowledgments The men andwomen who participated in this conference and re- ported on its proceedingsare among the busiest on earth. The con- ference was called with little notice, andthe manuscript preparation schedule was a tight one. As taskmaster, I much appreciatethe con- sistent cooperation, the unfailing goodnature, and the capacity to find time in overcrowded schedules whichwere exhibited by every member of the group. My special thanks go to Wilma Donahue, EthelShanas, Clark Tibbitts, and Walter Spieth, who read drafts ofchapters 1 and 15. Their criticisms resulted in significant improvements.Unfortunately, ii, was not possible to take advantage of allof their stimulating sug- gestions. I hope that each one of the four will, in thenear future. expound his own ideas in the written forum. Researchon retirement will be significantly advanced and enriched. I also wish to thank the several petsons who efficientlyand cheer- fully assisted the authors and editor with preparationof the bibli- ography and manuscript. TRANCES M. CARP) Editor vli Foreword This hook reports a conference held by theAdult Development and Aging Branch of the National Institute of ChildHealth and Human Development (NICHD),one of the National Institutes of Health. NICHD is concerned with the biological and psychologicalprocesses that transform the individualas he passes from conception to old age and with the interactions of the changingindividual and society. The present series of conferenceson retirement initiated by Dr. Frances Carp is an expression of the interest ofNICHD in the prob- lems of the elderly and in the phase of life thatin our culture is usually coincident with retirement. LEROY E. DUNCAN, Jr., M.D. Chief Adul& Development and Aging Branch National Institute of Child Health and Human Development ix Pre;ace In the summer of 1966, the Director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Dr. Donald Harting,1 pro- posed as a focus for the Adult Development and Aging Branch the transition stage in later maturity which is approximately coincident with retirement from work. Dr. Harting's suggestion grew out of the Institute's desire to stimulate research in adult development and ag- ing, and to make explicit its mandate for the support of behavioral as well as biological science approaches. In the fall of that year, Drs. James Birren, Joseph Britton, and Ethel Shanas met with members of the staff to evaluate the suggestion and to consider possibilities for its implementation. Ther,e consultants considered the topic to be closely relevant to the mission of the In- stitute and to merit the highest priority. The group recommended a series of conferences of workshops and immediate dissemination of conference outcomes, when meritorious, to tho research community. Conferences permit the exchange of new findings and provide stimulation to participants. However, they can affect directly only a limited number of investigators, and primarily those already committed to research in. the area. Publication will pre- sent a larger audience of investigators with research ideas,provide them with conceptual formulations to guide the design and interpre- tation. of their studies, and put into their hands the latest tools and techniques. As a general rule, elch conference should focus on a specifictopic or problem within the general domain ofinterest. However, the advi- sory group recommended that the interestsof the Institute would be served best by a different format for the opening session. Its aims were to alert investigators to the interest of the Institute, toinform them of the most recent work in the general area, and to obtain a broader base of advice regarding tactics and strategy most appropriate to theInsti- tute goal of stimulating systematic research onretirement as a phase of human development. Therefore the tentative list ofparticipants was compiled to give wide coverage by disciplines and by topics;nomina- tions took into account competence in. research and interestin this phase of the lifespan.

    1 of 2 Team Roles in a Nutshell Ever wondered why some teams just seem to work and others hit the rocks? When things don’t work, it is obvious to all and it often has a profound effect on the people involved, as well as the project or objective to be achieved. In the 1970s, Dr Meredith Belbin and his research team at Henley Management College set about observing teams, with a view to finding out where and how these differences come about. They wanted to control the dynamics of teams to discover if – and how – problems could be pre- empted and avoided. Over a period of nine years, international management teams were studied. Each participant completed a battery of psychometric tests, so that attributes such as personality and behaviour could be brought into play and their effects on the team could be accurately considered. As the research progressed, the research revealed that the difference between success and failure for a team was not dependent on factors such as intellect, but more on behaviour. The research team began to identify separate clusters of behaviour, each of which formed distinct team contributions or “Team Roles”. A Team Role came to be defined as: “A tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a particular way .” It was found that different individuals displayed different Team Roles to varying degrees. The first Team Role to be identified was the “Plant”. The role was so-called because one such individual was “planted” in each team. They tended to be highly creative and good at solving problems in unconventional ways.
