Who is a leader?November 2016

A great leader is someone who is trusted, honest, and is willing to fight for the best

interest of everyone involved.

Leaders know their strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of their teammates.

This helps them delegate efficiently so that everyone is doing their part.

Leaders are also have solid communication skills. They are good at explaining the

situation, what the plan going forward is, and make sure that everyone is up to date.

When everyone is well-informed, the team's satisfaction is much higher.

10 Qualities of a greatteam member

Leadership, Values & Benefits Program November 2016

1. CommunicationA great team member has solid communications skills, just as a leader does. Whena team member can communicate effectively, the entire team is up to date on theproject.

Great communication also helps when a team member needs help. A great teammember isn't afraid to ask for help at the appropriate time and isn't afraid to offerhelp when they see a team member is falling behind.


2. TrustA great team member shows up for all of his or her assignments. This instills trustthroughout the team.

When a team trusts each other, everyone works more efficiently and is excited towork together.

It's imperative that everyone trusts each other to get their work done becausea lack of trust creates a stressful team environment that no one wants to be a partof. It also creates the feeling that someone might be doing more or less workthan the other.


3. Prioritizes the teamA great team member prioritizes the team and always has the team's best interestin mind. When each team member is looking out for what will be best for theteam, a higher level of trust is instilled.

Team satisfaction is also higher because members feel like they are truly a part ofa team, and don't feel alone on the project.


4. CommitmentGreat team members are committed to their group. They follow through with eachtask and project that they promise to the group.

They also fulfill their time commitments and attend all team meetings.

Because of their strong commitment to the group and reliability, if they do haveto miss a meeting, the group trusts them to get their part done still.


5. Active listening

A great team member respects each members thoughts and perspectives. Byactive listening, a great team member demonstrates the respect that they havefor the team member and in turn will be respective.

Through active listening, the team member is more involved and is able toprovide better feedback. It also allows for more brainstorming opportunities andcollaboration.


6. Problem SolverA great team member is a problem solver. When a problem arises, instead offocusing on the problem, they focus on the solution.

This prevents the focus on blaming someone and the problem solving becomesmuch more efficient because the focus is on the future, not the past.

A great team leader knows that blaming a team member is not an effective use oftime and rather the focus should be on what the team can do to come togetherand move forward.


7. FlexibilityA great team member is flexible and understands that things may changethroughout the course of the project. The team leader is ready to take on anychanges and does so without complaining because he or she knows it is in thebest interest of the group to always move forward.


8. Celebrates

A great team member celebrates every member of the team for their successes nomatter how big or small. Telling the team members that you're proud of themreminds them how important they are to the team and that their hard workdoesn't go unnoticed.


9. HonestyA great team member is honest and doesn't make excuses. Life happens andsometimes tasks don't get done in time. When this is rare and far betweenand a team member is honest with the status of their task, they will berespected by the other teammates for not lying or making up excuses andthey will be more willing to help out.


10. Ask QuestionsGreat team members aren't afraid to ask questions. They also are open to allquestions from other team members and would never make someone feellike their questions is unimportant or is a bad question.

A great team member understands that questions are not a sign of weakness,rather they are a sign of eagerness to learn and participate.
