How To Work Effectively In A Team*

A few weeks back a BNI (Business Network International) member asked me for some help with his "teamwork" skills.
He had been a sole proprietor for 15 years and new to BNI.
I told him that working as part of a team can be difficult for someone who has worked independently for a long time. Recognizing that you need to develop a team attitude is a good starting point, but the following quiz can help you refine your skills as a team member.

Answer yes or no to the following questions:

1. Do you give credit to others for their good ideas?
2. Do you admit your mistakes?
3. Do you communicate your concerns, questions, and ideas to the team?
4. Are the opinions of your fellow team members important to you?
5. Do you make sure others in your group are not surprised by anything relating to the work you're doing?
6. Are you interested in the suggestions made by your fellow team members?
7. Are you friendly with the members of your team?
8. Do you support group decisions?
9. Do you encourage others to do their best?
10. Do you feel success belongs to everyone on the team?

Score yourself: Eight to 10 YES answers indicates you are a good team player. If you scored lower, study the questions for ways to improve by reading my book,
