Here are some chararistics of effective team, so from there we can learn how to be active and participate in teamwork.

Membership: two or more individuals work together toward a common goa
Common goal: the members have negotiated shared aims and goals
Social organisation: the group develops or actively negotiates functional norms, roles, and relationships
Interdependence between members: members succeed only if all succeed
Productive involvement: all members are supported to contribute equally to the workload; resources and skills are identified early on and used effectively. Decisions are made by consensus.
Effective communication and interaction: face-to-face and other modes of communication help to monitor group processes and dynamics, drive creativity and enable productive work practices
Mutual interest: members focus on the interests of the group as a whole, and avoid personalising problems or differences of opinion
Collective consciousness: members perceive themselves as belonging to the group even when the group is not together
Mutual trust: members listen to each other, respect contributions, help each other to clarify ideas, and show interest in each other
Cohesion: group processes function smoothly without need for intervention, members are able to contribute equally to produce something greater than the individual parts, individual contributions are brought together seamlessly and within nominated deadlines, and members feel they have learnt something from the process and from the other group members.

So what other factor do you think that each member should have in order to work well in team?
