Topic 22

We all work or will work
in our jobs with many different kinds of people. In your opinion, what are some
important characteristics of a co-worker (someone you work closely with)? Use
reasons and specific examples to explain why these characteristics are
important.

In modern society, the team work spirit becomes more and more important
as it is a crucial factor to success in rat race. We all need to learn how to
become a good co-worker in a team who can contribute themselves in dealing with
other group members. So there are three characteristics that I think are the
most significant and necessary qualities for a team worker.

At the first, all they need is a good altitude. Since having same goals
is the prerequisite for any kind of cooperation, a good altitude is
indispensable for a team player. That is to subordinate personal aspiration and
works in a coordinated effort with other members of a group, in striving for a
common goal. It doesn’t mean individual is no longer important; however, it
does mean that effective and efficient team work goes beyond the individual
accomplishments. For example, one’s project has not been approved on group discussion;
it will be bad if he/she put his/her personal emotion such as frustration or
depression on the first place instead of being calm and objective to find out
the reasons. Or even it will be worse if someone ignores that other members are
against the views and insists to execute just for his/her own benefit or
reputation. As the result of it, he/she might get nothing because his/her group
was weaken by his/her high ego and then was defeated by other groups in the
competition. So a good altitude that being subordinate personal aspiration and
works helps to keep individual cool and objective in a group when he/she facing
the brutal competition since competition ever stresses real fact.

Secondly, to respect others can intensify team cohesion so that make
them work more efficiently and effectively. 
It is very common that team workers’ ability, experience and skills are
not uniform. Naturally it will emerge all kinds of situations when they are working
together. It is likely to happen that some issues become very controversial or
even some are hardly carried out. In such situation, first of all people need
to respect others whatever how much experience, ability or how many skills
their partners had. Then every individual in the team could read other’s
proposals carefully and could even response positively to other’s oppositions
as same as agreements. If it happens then they can get the business orderly
progressing because it already built up a wonderful atmosphere to work together.

Finally, the communication skills also dominants in team work. Usually
a team went through four stages to accomplish a task. If a team got a project,
it has to initiate it, make a definition, make a scheme and perform it. The
communication skills will be taken through the cycle of these four stages. So
it becomes crucial that everyone exchanges views frequently. Besides it, as
group grows larger, more ideas need to be expressed freely since the skills and
methods that people require also grow. Good communication skills can lower the
chance of misinformation in order to maintain a good spirit of team work.

To sum up, these three characteristics weight so heavy in team work
which are absolutely indispensable qualities for being a good co-worker.
