How To Be A Great Team Member

Being a great team member involves commitment and work. Here are eight steps you can take to become an asset to your team:

1. Focus on relationship - Team work is built on trust and respect. Offer support rather than direction. 
2. Attend all online meetings - Connect between sessions to build relationships.
3. Share your experiences - Connect over similar goals and experiences.
4. Hold each other accountable - Take brief notes during your meetings of what to follow up on so you don’t forget and hold each other accountable. 
5. Coach each other; share what you learn - Offer feedback to each other to enhance learning. Share resources you’ve enjoyed, such as articles, TED talks or books. 
6. Create working groups - Organize tasks in your groups and ensure you are dependable and reliable.
7. Practice active listening - Help your team members to feel heard by listening to what they are saying and ensuring you have understood before adding what you want to say.
8. Confidentiality - Keep things that are shared in the sessions confidential.
