Knowing how to work in a team is often hailed as the ultimate skill for work. A good team player is a manager’s dream – after all, it’s unlikely that any of us will ever work in complete isolation. So what does it mean to be a good team player? Stacey Dooley discusses.
You’ll sometimes hear people say: “One team, one dream” and "There is no I in team", and I actually think there is a lot of truth in that.
In the work place, it is always important you get your own work done, do a good job and are reliable and consistent, of course. But a key skill that is sometimes forgotten is being able to work smoothly as part of a team, and that’s an essential quality that all employers look for.
When I look back at all the work I’ve done, there has always been a team of people who have supported me, worked alongside me or helped me out along the way. When you are taking your first steps into the working world, team work becomes more and more critical because you are often starting at the bottom, and that usually means doing things as part of a group.
So what does it mean to be a good team player? I can tell you that, if your starting point is respecting those alongside you, you are on the right track! Being considerate and kind might sound obvious, but they truly are the qualities that make the working world go round. Another key thing is quickly working out where your own skills lie and how you fit in to the bigger group, so that you can contribute to the end goal.
