Teams need people who speak up and express their thoughts and ideas clearly, directly and with respect for others and for the work of the team — in a positive, confident, and respectful manner. Therefore communicating constructively as a team member.
For effective communication and problem solving, team members need the discipline to listen first and speak second. Teams need team players who can absorb, understand, and consider ideas and points of view from other people without debating and arguing every point. Such a team member also can receive criticism without reacting defensively.
Team members who function as active participants take the initiative to help make things happen, by being prepared, offering input and assume responsibility for tasks inherent within the assignments.
Positive problem solving has effective team players who are open to all kinds of solutions. They're problem-solvers, who collaborate with others to find solutions and form positive action plans.
Team players treat fellow team members with courtesy and consideration — not just some of the time but consistently. They show understanding and the appropriate support of other team members to help get the job done. They listen, and share information. Good team players also have a sense of humor and know how to have fun but they don't have fun at someone else's expense. Quite simply, effective team players deal with other people in a positive, respectful manner.
