What makes a good team player? Here are my thoughts, in order of importance:

 

1) Help others get success

2) Respect others, treat everybody with courtesy

3) Open to learn

4) Be proactive, willing to step up and take lead

5) Challenge status quo, always look for better ways

6) Ownership, result focus

 

1) and 2) are the areas I need to improve on the most. It's not like I am bad in helping others or treat others in rude manner. But when pressure is on, it's so natural for me to focus on getting things done and 1) and 2) get slipped to the back seat.

 

Write this down to help remind myself. Months/years later, I can come back and see if I have imporved on these two.
