Being an Effective team member
Communicate
If you have a problem with someone in your
group, talk to them about it. Letting bad
feelings brew will only make you sour and want
to isolate yourself from the group.
Don't Blame Others
You're not fooling anyone, people know who
isn't pulling his weight in a group. Pointing the
finger will only make you look cowardly.
Support Group nobody likes a know-it-all…..support your team
member’s ideas
No Bragging Superstar’s are just as bad…be a mentor not a
braggart
Listen Actively Look at the person who's speaking to you, nod,
ask probing questions and acknowledge what's
said by paraphrasing points that have been
made
Get Involved Take the time to help your fellow teammates - if
you've helped them in past, they'll be more
than happy to lend a helping hand.

But they can work….
• The successful teams are characterized by:
1. The absence of highly dominant individuals, and
2. A particular style of leadership.
• Successful leaders were skeptical people who sought to
impose some shape or pattern on group discussion, and
on the outcome of group activities.
• They focused attention on the setting of objectives and
priorities, and shaping the way team effort was applied.
The successful leaders were tough, discriminating
people who could both hold their ground in any
company, yet not dominate the group.
