Good communication skills are essential in teamwork. This means you should strive to be open to other people's ideas. Listen thoughtfully and be enthusiastic in your support of their ideas if warranted. Take the initiative to share your own ideas and do so respectfully. A good guideline to follow in dealing with others is the "Golden Rule": "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" Bottom line: Assume the best of your teammates and in turn give your teammates your personal best.
