Team Member Behavior for Success

Ultimately, team success rests largely on the behavior of individual team members. Team members need to trust, respect, and support each other. Support can mean offering assistance when a team member appears to need it without waiting to be asked. Team member behaviors that have been identified in successful teams are:

  • Cooperation - Team member cooperation with one another is crucial to team success.
  • Information Sharing - Information and ideas need to be shared among members. Information and ideas need to be presented to the team as a whole and each member must have the opportunity to participate.
  • Communication - Members must practice good communication skills. Each member must take the responsibility of making sure thoughts and ideas expressed are understood and be willing to clarify patiently when requested.
  • Patience - Team members must understand that consensus building is not easy and takes time.
  • Honesty - Members need to deal honestly with each other at all times. This includes providing feedback that is issue-based--not personally based.
  • Intragroup Conflict - Conflict within the team needs to be dealt with in a timely and straightforward manner. To do otherwise, risks the team dividing into factions.
  • Maintain Goal Focus - Team members must not lose sight of the job to be done even as they develop interpersonal relationships.
