What Are The Attitudes of A Great TEAM Member?

David Bater lists 19 attitudes of a great team member

That’s an interesting question I recently received from a client and after a lengthy discussion.

Here are 19 Attitudes of a Great TEAM, that I’ve noted;

These attitudes can be demonstrated by people and should be looked on as signs to gauge the potential of new or current team members in your business … the more the better!

  1. They want to see the business grow and will be pro-active about helping the business or owner to do it…
  2. They work back when you ask them to without grumbling about it (however if they have something else on that is important)
  3. They want to attend training external to the business and may offer to pay for part of it …
  4. When coming through the recruitment stage offer to come and work for free to earn the job …
  5. They agree to new ideas and strategies in a positive way not find reasons why it won’t work …
  6. They don’t spread gossip about other team members or the business owner. They don’t talk about another person without the person being there …
  7. They talk positively about ideas, concepts and people …
  8. They work hard on themselves to improve themselves …
  9. They support the leader not sabotage them …
  10. They want to become leaders not be a victim …
  11. They greet customers and other team members in a friendly manner …
  12. They welcome new team members in a friendly manner and keep that manner until the person works into the team or they leave …
  13. They do more than they are asked to do and contribute to the business without being asked …
  14. They see a futurein the business and would like to see it grow …
  15. They always endeavour to speak the truth …
  16. They talk to their manager or business owner about issues or queries or questions about the business or other team members in an honest non-exaggerated way …
  17. They have happy dispositions and positive outlooks …
  18. They think of the business as their own …
  19. They are happy to set goals and strive for them …

Invite your current team members to step up to higher standards, and expect more from them than they do for themselves.

There is no “I” in T.E.A.M Together – Everyone – Achieves – More.

The right people in the right positions are a company’s most valuable asset. In the book “Good to Great” Jim Collins writes: “Those who build great companies understand that the ultimate throttle on growth for any great company is not markets, or technology, or competition, or products.
