Skill 2- Team-Working Skills

The next skill is Team-Working skills.

Employers always look for team players and most of CVs usually has a reference to teamwork.  Teamwork involves working confidently within a group, contributing your own ideas effectively, taking a share of the responsibility, being assertive - rather than passive or aggressive, accepting and learning from constructive criticism and giving positive, constructive feedback to others. 

When people view the others around them as a team, they are more willing to work together, pooling their skills to create the best possible result. Team building is one of the most important parts of your job, yet many of those in leadership roles are unsure about the right activities to do to build a great team.  For example if you have been put into groups to present an idea to the boss you must all be able to work well toghether or else no work will get done.  No matter if you like the people that you are working with you must still acknowledge any points that they are making.  Also you must not sit back and let all of the others do the not only their own work but also yours.
