Prioritize the needs of the team before our own. Our needs will not always coincide with those of the team. In such instances, we must exercise accommodation and flexibility in order to satisfy the demands of the team. We develop trust by putting the team first.
A good team requires dependability. Team members are expected to uphold their promises and provide outcomes. Members of the team therefore encouraged to follow the philosophy of underpromise and overdeliver. Our projects' key status updates should be shared within the team members on a regular basis.
We ought to highlight our colleagues' qualities while abstaining from gossiping in order to maintain a good mindset by avoiding complaining and seeking positivism.
We should treat our teammates with respect and be kind to each other. We must be considerate of their time, boundaries, and thoughts. Time is a valuable resource that we do not want to waste. Healthy disagreement can assist teams in considering diverse points of view. We should avoid disparaging or diminishing opinions with which we disagree with our colleagues. People will remember how we made them feel for the rest of their lives. As a result, we must exercise caution in how we interact with people.
Plan ahead of time to reduce the team's workload as proactive teammates are ideal.
Encourage people to participate. Be helpful and supportive of team decisions.
Professionalism is the impression we create and how our colleagues represent us to others. It is contingent upon our competence and accomplishment of tasks, as well as our demeanor.
Ideal colleagues tackle each endeavor with a long-term perspective in mind. We must strike a balance between work and relationships in order to demonstrate that we are strategically focused on the overall big picture of a project. We must also learn from our errors and be adaptable. If we place a higher premium on people than on outcomes, we will react with grace to errors.
Learn about ourselves to learn about others.
