Cooperating: Effective team members are willing and able to work together rather than alone. This includes sharing resources and being sufficiently adaptive or flexible to accommodate the needs and preferences of other team members, such as rescheduling use of machinery so that another team member with a tighter deadline can use it.

Coordinating: Effective team members actively manage the team’s work, so it is performed efficiently and harmoniously. This includes keeping the team on track and helping to integrate the work performed by different members. To effectively coordinate, team members must know the other team members’ work to some extent, not just their own.

Communication: Effective team members transmit information freely (rather than hoarding), efficiently (using the best channel and language), and respectfully (minimizing arousal of negative emotions).38 They also listen actively to coworkers.

Comforting: Effective team members help coworkers maintain a positive and healthy psychological state. They show empathy, provide emotional comfort, and build coworker feelings of confidence and self-worth.

Conflict handling: Conflict is inevitable in social settings, so effective team members have the skills and motivation to resolve disagreements within the group. This involves using appropriate conflict-handling styles as well as diagnostic skills to identify and resolve the structural sources of conflict.
