"Ideal team players possess adequate measures of humility, passion and people smarts. They have little ego when it comes to needing attention or credit for their contributions and they are comfortable sharing accolades or even occasionally missing out on them. Ideal team players work with a sense of energy, passion, and personal responsibility, taking on whatever they possibly can for the good of the team. Finally, they say and do the right things to help teammates feel appreciated, understood, and included, even when difficult situations arise that require tough love."
