Good Team Player

What make a good team player? Is there an easier way of becoming a good team player? For the slides and research paper presented to us it made it easier for us to answer the question asked of us. In the help of finding the answers to these to questions we must look at each question individually. Although I believe most people think what makes a good team player an easier question to answer I think the second question how do you become a good team player is a simpler question with a much easier answer. There is no simple way of becoming a good team player. The only way to become a good team player is to be a part of many teams. Being part of many teams help a person understand how to participate in a group setting as well as helps a person become
These group are trying to accomplish the same goal and the outcome was very predictable, at least in my eyes. If each person has the same problem solving skills then of course the teams are going to have similar scores.

If this is not done then it leaves to much room for interpretation, and even though people always say they work better under pressure this is not true, people work better under structure. After that has been established the team must feel that the work they are doing is important or at the very minimum the people he/she is working with are important. Although especially in college teams are not assigned a leader it is important to have a leader. Like I said earlier people work better under structure, without a leader people begin to ignore schedules and then everyone is only focused on the finally deadline which in turn makes the editing of a project suffer. Which is the most important part of any presentation. If people spent more time on the editing of a team project then more people on the team would have a better understanding of the overall framework the team is trying to establish even if they had less overall knowledge of what is being
