Team Skills

Team members need to help each other in different ways

Becoming an effective team member will require you to develop the following team skills:

• Collaboration —make sure you provide colleagues with the things they need when they need it.
• Cooperation — respond to requests from colleagues to provide additional information or material to help them complete their tasks.
• Context sensitivity — be aware of your colleagues’ situation and what they are currently trying to do so they can be supported or left undisturbed.
• Support — step in and assist with aspects of a colleague’s job when they are pressured.
• Delegation — enlist help from others to enable you to cope with demands placed on yourself when workload is high.
• Mentoring — help your colleagues to develop new skills by providing coaching, instruction and mentoring when requested.
• Communication — confirm completion of delegated tasks and acknowledge receipt of communications promptly in order to enable your colleague to progress their own work most effectively.
