How to be an effective team player?

In today’s contemporary work culture team play remains a pivotal aspect to run through projects, where everyone pitches in, and you all work together in a perfect harmony. It is worth mentioning that teamwork is not only the effective mode to work, it even develops and refines the skills that will help you make a valuable contribution to whichever type of team you're in. To be precise a good team player is not just someone who contributes, but someone who can absorb, understand, and consider ideas and views from other people. Let us know what our colleagues have to say.

According to my opinion, an effective team player should have 5 qualities like, always reliable, communicate with confidence, come up with creative ideas, adapt to the changing environment & should have commitment. Team player should be friendly and lovable to the teammates unless he is friendly there will be no success for the team mates. Team player should be capable to handle all the responsibilities. Team player should always maintain positive attitude & good rapport which helps not only him but also the whole team. Team player should always have good mind to accept all ideas, thoughts and feelings given by team members, said one of the respondent.

To be an effective player, open your mind to listen, we have to listen to the team before we make our viewpoint; rather arguing we have to try describing details on why we thought different; discuss much about work with team and accept suggestions rather treating it as complaints replied another colleague.

An unbiased work culture with full dedication to work and support to team members is what makes an effective team player said one of the employees.
