The ideal team players take responsibility for ensuring the success of the team.  They are  positive and proactive, and are willing  to ask questions that help them do their best work, and aid the efforts of others. Listed below are questions I've found helpful to ask myself so that I can model what it means to be an ideal team player.  

These questions cause me to think differently about what it means to be part of the team and usually change what I say and do as a team member. What might you say and do differently as a result of how you answered these questions?
