Genuine team players are loyal beyond words. They go the extra mile for their teammates. Taking care of their own is more important than nearly anything to them. They don’t run to the coach or boss to point out others’ mistakes just so they can look good. Instead, they address issues they have directly so that the correction is made personally and misunderstandings are settled for the good of the team, not for to the satisfaction of either person’s ego.
That is not to say that when someone on a team steps way over the line that the culprit should not be handed over to the coach for a serious course correction. But there is definitely a line where team members, when guided by a sound moral compass, are better off settling problems internally.
Whether I would have learned good teamwork naturally without my brothers’ prodding is something I can’t answer. Hopefully, I would have, but how would one know for sure? Looking at others’ behavior gives us clues and helps us examine how we might have evolved.
Four signs of a person good at teamwork:
Share and share alike: These people understand that for a team to thrive, sharing is an integral ingredient. When people openly share with each other — equipment, personal stories, or ideas — they create an environment of trust. And mutual trust is what every good coach looks for in a healthy team.
Dust yourself off: People more concerned with the team than with themselves get over slights, injuries and problems faster than those focusing most all their attention on themselves. These are resilient, hard-working athletes. There is not a coach anywhere who does not love a hard worker. Brush distractions aside: When a team comes together, whether for practice or a game, distractions inhibit progress. Players who can quickly recognize distractions and effortlessly brush them to the side are mature athletes with the ability to set a positive example teammates will follow.
