Here's how you can stand out to employers as a top team player.

Active listening, willingness to support others and see things from different side/perspective will allow us to show empathy. As we work with humans, to show that we care also important.

Empathy is imagining oneself in that other person's situation. Pay attention to body language and other types of nonverbal communication with your teammates. -Work on listening to people without interrupting -Recognizing emotion in another person -Staying out of judgment -Behavioral and person-centered approaches

Indeed, the best approach to convey an idea, information, or truth is through clear communication. When our message is complete and unambiguous, you should look for a supportive audience in return. Not once, but numerous times, the courteous, modest, and enlightening conversations have worked like magic to keep strong connect to ensure fast onboarding at project locations. Hourly team meetings are necessary as we operate in a hybrid model with several locations. You can get good outcomes by listening well, smiling with trust, and providing precise details for every question.

Communicate more effectively when you Notice nonverbal signs and make intentional language choices. Build trust, Listen to understand. Be an engaged listener. Of course, the way you choose to send your message matters. Create congruence between the verbal and non-verbal parts of your message. Though there are a few variations of clear, concise, concrete, correct, coherent, complete, and courteous

One very critical skill many people lack is LISTENING. Seek first to understand, THEN to be understood. People expend a great deal of wasted energy by waiting for that tiny pause to turn the conversation around to be about them. Stop, listen, think, then respond. If you want to be recognized as a true team player, listen! Listen to what your co-workers are saying, listen to what your management is saying. Open your mouth less and open your ears more!

I specifically ask how someone likes to communicate upon working with them— I remain flexible and can accommodate for best communication. I also communicate directly to ensure we are aligned throughout our project. Clear and open communication along with a plan towards a solution in difficult moments are how you best leverage your abilities to communicate effectively. In interviewing it’s important to stay connected to the human aspect of the things you do in your works.

I believe adaptability is going to be the key when it comes to the future. Companies seem to be moving in the direction of leaner teams. Going to keep the people that are nimble and adaptable, as we continue to progress in this direction it is fundamental to express your ability to be a reliable employee that is able to thrive in a dynamic environment that is constantly evolving.

Encourage and volunteer for situations or projects that may not align 100% with your current skillset. This shows your organization and leaders that you are able to succeed in more than just a narrow set of circumstances.

i) Be flexible and open with differences. ii) Top team players come with strong collaboration, having the accountability to take action and understand their choices impact to the team. iii) Be positive keep in high morale and commitment. iv) A good team player doesn't say YES to everything, but they bounce ideas with good communication skills.

In today’s ever changing scenario, it is important to be versatile and resilient. With new technology coming up everyday, you are bound to fail sometimes while experimenting. The key is to be able to analyse the shortcomings and trying again. It would show that you are confident enough to experiment and take ownership if something fails. People who can spearhead changes are the backbone of any organisation.

I agree 100%. It’s ok to do something you are not fully comfortable with. Others will help along the way and I think you actually learn much doing this. Also the networking you accomplish is worth it.

Often we sometimes forget that new workers may not know all the answers but are embarrassed to ask so offering help will encourage motivation and confidence

Be proactive in offering assistance to team members. Whether it’s helping with a challenging task or providing moral support, showing that you care about the team’s success makes a significant impact.

When a leader is not meeting expectations, I take this as an opportunity to mentor and provide support and guidance. Majority of the time, I have found that these individuals have not been mentored or they were promoted too quickly and not set up for success. The most difficult part of my job is having to let people go, it is literally life changing. If I can make an effort to develop and potentially save someone's job, I will go out of my way to do so. After that, it is up to them...develop or depart. And by this time they realize their potential or lack of.

Effective leaders inspire success! Leading by example and actively supporting your team are powerful tools Go beyond your individual tasks and actively seek ways to assist the team & peers. Offer help during busy periods, share your knowledge and expertise, and celebrate team accomplishments. By being a reliable source of support, you'll build strong relationships and demonstrate your commitment to collective success.

As we had a project where we had to onboard approx 300 number of manpower within 2 months. Being a leader I have even worked day and night with my team and tried to keep them motivated along with given them full right to do front facing and credit of their work where-in tried yo protect them from harsh discussion along with guiding them time to time bases.

Be open to learning and adapting from your colleagues. Humility is not about being weak or submissive; it's about having the courage to admit when you don't know something, and being open to learning from others. Humble leaders DON'T act like they have all the answers Humble leaders DO admit when they make a mistake. Be aware of your own shortcomings, strengths, and limitations. Be a good listener and ensure others feel heard and understood around you. Humble people appreciate the blessings and opportunities in their lives and express thanks sincerely

This involves valuing every team member's contributions, actively listening to their ideas, and giving credit where it's due. Show empathy and support, especially during challenges, fostering a collaborative and trusting environment. By prioritizing the team's success over individual accolades, you create a culture of mutual respect and shared goals. Your ability to lead by example, showing humility and a genuine interest in others' perspectives, not only boosts team morale but also drives collective achievement, making you an indispensable asset to any employer.

In my experience, being open and willing to learn from new or younger member of a team is not a weakness. As a senior member, it is important to adapt and adjust our way of leading. Team member will appreciate guidance, suggestion and sharing if they feel the leader is trusting them and recognize their progress. Serving leadership is not easy but definitely starts from lead humbly.

During an interview, demonstrating humble leadership involves showcasing qualities that emphasize collaboration, empathy, and a willingness to learn. Here's how! Active Listening: Describe how you actively listen to team members, value their input, and incorporate the ideas into decision-making processes. Acknowledging Mistakes: Share a situation where you made a mistake or faced a challenge. Discuss how you took responsibility, learned from it, and improved. Giving Credit: Highlight instances where you gave credit to others for their contributions like praising team members during project successes. Openness to Feedback: Discuss how you actively seek feedback and use it to grow. Mention specific changes you made based on feedback. #humble

Throughout my career, I have come to appreciate that constructive criticism is not a personal attack but an invaluable tool for growth. Embracing this mindset has enabled me to enhance my performance, foster a culture of continuous improvement within my team, and demonstrate my commitment to being a reflective and growth-oriented team player. My experiences have taught me that constructive criticism, when embraced with an open mind and a willingness to learn, can lead to significant improvements in performance and team dynamics.

Recently, I took some time to reflect on feedback I received. In the moment, I felt vulnerable and not pleased with the situation. However, this experience ultimately made me a better person. It strengthened my resilience and made me stronger. By embracing the CIA method (Control, Influence, Accept), I learned valuable skills. I have learned to take control of situations where possible, influence positive outcomes through collaboration, and gracefully accept factors beyond my control. I'm hoping this approach has helped me to stand out to employers as a dedicated and adaptable team player. ??

If you get feedback from a leader, confirm what the other person is saying. "If I understand you correctly, you're suggesting..." Keep them in the driver's seat and make sure they see you making effort (and take notes!) to understand the feedback they're taking to help ensure your success.

Feedback is another essential criteria for success and growth.To receive feedback and understand the same and improve those areas are very important.The continuous process of learning and unlearn is extremely important for individual growth and also growth as a team player.

I prioritize using feedback as a tool for personal and team development. For instance, in a previous role, I received constructive criticism about my presentation skills. Instead of being discouraged, I took it as an opportunity to enhance my communication abilities. I sought mentorship from colleagues who excelled in this area, practiced regularly, and even participated in public speaking workshops. As a result, my improved presentation skills not only boosted my confidence but also benefited the team during client meetings and internal presentations. Clearer communication led to better understanding among team members and stakeholders, ultimately enhancing project outcomes.

A lot has been said already, but I think it's important that while interviewing people are aware of their own limits and honest with their answers. Do not "sell" something you are not, or you are not inclined to. While interviewing, show examples of your previous work experiences that will demonstrate your ways of working, your empathy towards your colleagues and how you showed and gave support to them. Tell about constructive feedback your received and how you acted on it. Be open to learn, but also be honest about what you can offer.

Be confident and bring good energy to your interview. Don’t overthink yourself into being disengaged on a human level. You’ll be more comfortable and confident the more you practice. Many hiring managers feel they need a good base of experience and culture fit because most technical skills can be taught. Believe in yourself and trust your process!

A smile and a positive attitude can go a long way. We never know how someone's day is going. Mental health today is important in the workplace and lending a helping hand or a smile can be just what a team member needs to be their best! Always communicate and listen to others' points of view. Sometimes we may have different perspectives, but we should always respect the other person.

Not to stand out as a leader is the only way to stand out as a leader! Here’s how: The best leaders/top team players are the ones who ‘Lead’ adding to the other team members efforts, staying in the forefront by helping and accepting the flaws with the gentle touch of constructive criticism. Yes it does ask for additional effort beyond one’s self goals. I believe a good team player’s job is not just to get a task done but to bring another member to the same level of dexterity, often in this world of history written by victors we celebrate leaders/people who have the loudest cheer and a good story rather than looking beyond the story & understand the pursuit of contribution to success. So don’t stand out rather make others stand out! ????

Understand, celebrate and be a champion for diversity and inclusion in your team. One way to do this is finding ways to work towards creating a sense of belonging for everyone in the team and encourage others to do the same. In my experience, a sense of belonging increases team cohesion and happiness as well as encouraging a stronger bond between team members. If everyone is included and feels like they belong, you have an awesome foundation for strong working relationships and better understanding and support between team members.
