If you are new to team-based projects, it is important to understand that everyone on the team brings with them unique technical expertise, knowledge, and experience that should be valued by all of the team members if the team is to be successful. This means that you should make a good effort to listen to other people's ideas and suggestions respectfully. In turn, you should expect the same from your colleagues. Note that this doesn't mean that you must become "best friends" with everyone on your team, i.e., you don't have to eat together, socialize together, and/or share any personal information with your colleagues unless you choose to. However, it is important that you are personable and that you make a good effort to pleasant when interacting with everyone.
Respect Your Colleagues
