A further explanation of the relevance of these qualities is in any case presented.IntroductionTeamwork is defined as the collaboration of several associates, each vie a role that will contribute to the attainment of the whole separates objective (Hill &038 Parsons, 2014). Effective group upwork requires group up members to possess certain qualities in order to facilitate a plastic relationship amongst them (Galbraith &038 Webb, 2013). This paper presents a checklist and rationale of groupwork qualities. The checklist is developed from my personal career experiences.Checklist of Qualities of a Team participant Effective communication skills Commitment towards attaining the team objective Competence in ones field of specialty Creativity Respect and support for other team members Effective management and organization skills Accountability and responsibility RationaleThis section presents an explanation of the relevance of the above qualities to team work. citation is also made to academic sources to provide a more critical explanation of these qualities. dialogue SkillsIn order to function successfully in a team, members ought to be able to effectively communicate on both emotional and keen levels (Lencioni, 2012). Possession of this skill enables one to effectively present their ideas to other classify members or express their displeasure in certain ideas without being threatening. Communication also involves listening, which is vital for internalizing the ideas presented by other team members. The present daylight tech nological advancements like the internet and mobile phones have further proposeed the communication process, which is also advantageous for team work and has led to the realistic team phenomenon (Duarte &038 Snyder, 2011). Lack of communication skills often lead to conflicts at heart the team or groupthink, where some team members agree with ideas without any constructive debate.Commitment to advance of the Team ObjectiveThe level of team members commitment to collaborate and accomplish the teams closes is a critical contributing factor towards the success of the team (Dunin-Keplicz &038 Verbrugge, 2011). All teamwork projects involve the contribution of individual members towards the attainment of an overall objective. Therefore, commitment starts by their acknowledgement of the fact that what they are working to achieve cannot be solely done by one individual (Mohammed &038 Harrison, 2013). Committed team members have a high regard for the roles that they have been allocated and work as hard as possible to ensure that they are well realized at heart the allocated magazine. Commitment however depends on how organizations motivate the team members (Sheng et al., 2010).CompetenceAllocation of roles and responsibilities in team work is done according to the specialty of each team member (Lencioni, 2012). For instance, it is expected that a marketing role will be delegated to an individual who has a rich background in marketing and not engineering. By exercising competence in the roles they are allocated, team members farm a sense of confidence in team leaders and other members that they will deliver the required level of quality (Galbraith &038 Webb, 2013). It is also incumbent for team members to only accept roles in which they are sure of delivering paramount quality (Dunin-Keplicz &038 Verbrugge, 2011). The lack of the required levels of competence passs in poor slant of individual roles, which adversely affects the overall results of the team.Cr eativityCreativity is defined as the ability to go into up with ingenious solution for certain issues or problems (Mumford, 2012). In teamwork, it is a very definitive tool, especially when the problem at hand has no pre-defined approach of addressing it. When a team has creative members, one of the main advantages is that the project at hand will not be hindered by greenness challenges that may tog up in the course of its progress. Whereas creativity can be considered as an individual quality, Foss et al. (2013) also argued that creativity can be nurtured within the team because team members provide different suggestions of approaches that can be apply in solving problems.Effective Management and OrganizationIn the course of a team project, in that location are short-term objectives to be met that contribute to the attainment of the larger goal (Mohammed &038 Harrison, 2013). It is therefore vital for team members to effectively manage and organize time and resources that the y have been allocated to accomplish their roles. The lack of management and organization skills is likely to result in delays or failure of some team members in accomplishing their roles within the allocated time schedule and resources (Galbraith &038 Webb, 2013). Management and organization also determines the punctuality of team members in attending meetings or reporting the progress of their allocated duties.Respect and Support for other Team MembersOne of the pillars of teamwork is the acknowledgement of the roles played by each member of the group (Duarte &038 Snyder, 2011). This eliminates the subscription to the ideology by other team members that their roles are more important than others. According to Sheng et al. (2010), support of other team members who may be experiencing difficulties exemplifies a sense of loyalty towards one another. Expressing respect and support rather than playing the blame game builds confidence in team members and contributes towards a constructi ve working relationship (Galbraith &038 Webb, 2013). It also increases the possibility of successful collaboration in future projects.Accountability and ResponsibilityAccountability and responsibility play a major role in instilling self discipline among members when handling projects they have been depute to (Graham &038 Englund, 2013). Whilst not all team members can be allocated a leadership stake in the team, they have to be responsible for the small roles they have been assigned and ensure that they deliver them on time (Sheng et al., 2010). Accountability in team work ensures that every action taken in contribution to the team project is justifiable. It is however argued that accountability limits creativity because of the fear of mistakes that can arise when trying out creative problem solving procedures (Mumford, 2012).ConclusionTeamwork is an fateful phenomenon in any organization. It is therefore necessary for individuals to hone skills that enable them to be stop team players. This paper has outlined some f the qualities that are considered as being vital for anyone who wants to be successful team player. Whereas I possess all of the discussed skills, I also intend to improve my level of perfection in them in order to be a better team player in future.ReferencesDuarte, D.L. &038 Snyder, N.T., 2011.
