Team Player

An individual who can work on their own initiative to achieve a task, but who can also communicate, interact and work with other members of the group to achieve the wider aims of the team. A team player is someone who recognises the strengths and limitations of themself and others and works towards getting the most from each member of the team. They are respectful to others, offering to help where required, especially if they see another team member is struggling with some aspect of the work ¯ whether physically or emotionally, and follow instructions by supervisors and line managers as required, asking for clarification of anything which is not understood or what they see as ambiguous.
