Seeing how our resident Invisible Man seems to find different avatars to coincide with his status (NOOB avatar was an absoloute classic), I thought I would Google "Team Player" which is his new status. What comes up first? How to be a "team player", too funny.
Instructions Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step 1: Be responsible. If you are asked to do something, do it. If you need to be somewhere for the team, whether it is a meeting or to support the team at an event, be there and be on time.
Step 2: Listen to other team members without trying to guess what they are saying or judging them. This is called active listening. For some people, it's one of the hardest things to do.
Step 3: Be supportive. Compliment other members of the team when they have worked hard or overcome a challenge. Sometimes a person who gives everyone support is more valuable than the most technically skilled member of the team.
Step 4: Communicate effectively. If you have a problem, explain it, tactfully, before it becomes too big. It's okay to let people know if you feel something isn't right, just remember to be respectful of others feelings when you express yourself.
Step 5: Be flexible. Even if you have always done it one way, be willing to try another way. There is more than one way to skin a cat.
Step 6: Contribute. Be willing to take on responsibilities and share the workload. This doesn't mean you have to be a martyr, but work with your team mates to make things happen.
