Hi, frnds greetings.....hope you are all doing well.....Today I would like share this information that speaks about the essence of teamwork at workplace....
Today , teamwork is an important part of every job description.
Being a team player at the basic stage means that you can get along with your colleagues at the workplace — that you possess the social skills to have open, productive relationships with others so that collectively you can all get done what you need to get done.
Teamwork helps productivity
Team building and team work skills are quintessential for each and every employee because, at the end of the day, one usually works as a team and not independently.
Teamwork not only helps generate better productivity and goal accomplishment, but also is the founding stone of any successful organisation's work culture.
How to be a team player
All workplaces love to welcome employees who are responsible and dependable.
Taking up additional responsibilities every now and then also shows one is willing to work hard and learn more.When any assigned task goes wrong for just about any reason, it is very important to own up to it. Blaming circumstances or one's team members only creates a negative impression.
Being generous and sharing your knowledge with the team helps. This not only enhances your knowledge, but also ensures that when you need help, someone else is more than willing to return the favour. It's important to encourage free-thinking and
discussion.
Bear no pre-conceived notions about any team member, and don't ridicule an idea anyone may bring to the table. Most importantly, you should be open to feedback – positive or negative.
It is very petty to take undue credit, and also to hold back compliments where they are genuinely deserved by one's co-worker .
This only exposes a narrow-minded , shallow attitude that leads to a gradual distancing from the team. If one has suggestions on the manner in which certain things should happen, he/ she should take the initiative themselves and set an example for others to follow.
Successful team player
Open communication , trust, professionalism, healthy competition and self-motivation are the ingredients for a successful team player. Such a person is instrumental in building team responsibility and is also the driver for goal achievement .
Lastly, a new employee should strive doubly hard to cement relations with the team. Doing so makes the team bond better, and thus gives better results. Have a friendly disposition , and refrain from using expletives or gossiping idly – and half your work is done! It is important that the team members are made to understand that they will need to welcome a new member into the team.
They should not be prejudiced; neither should they be resistant to helping someone new fit in.
So, be a team player & achieve a lot together!!!!

Take day as it comes, who knows if there will be a tomorrow or not! |
Mam it might not make sense for highly qualified people but it does make sense for few who are still to reach that height. |
Tolerance is good sometimes but not always .. revenge is truly a sign of cowardice. Nice thought for the day sir ! |
