Are They a Team Player or are They a Player ?
Read More:
Hi everyone and yes, yes, yes after much excuse finding this is my first official blog post. Hope you find it of some help as a networker, mlm’er or newbie to this industry.
Last week while recovering from a surgery I got to thinking to myself what characteristics determined a team or single player in this industry?
Characteristics of a team player
1) Will pass the ball
2) Will share
3) Is a giver
4) Is a listener
5) Is coachable
6) Can take critique
7) Is not a quitter
8) Is a contributor
9) Is committed
10) Is fun to be around
11) Is humble
12) See’s people
13) Will help you up and collect prize with you
Characteristics of a single player
1) Are not passers (foot ball)
2) Think they can do everything
3) They are a one man band
4) Collects prize for him self
5) They are committed to self rather than others
6) Can be impatient
7) Has to be a front player
8) Full of pride
9) Has attitude
10) Knows it all
11) A single player needs duct tape
12) See’s numbers
13) Will step over you and collect prize for them.
Tips: Listen to words used by prospect or so called gurus, teachers and coaches to determine which category they may fall in e.g. a team player will use words such as we, you, our and team. A player will use such words as I, me, I am, I will and my team.

A Great Reminder!
David, thanks for posting this information. It helps one to see how to be a better teamplayer and help all of the team perform at a higher level.
We all need to be team players
We cannot do this business by ourselves.
Being a team player is one of the most important qualities of a leader.
And you've put it so well into words, David. Thank you.
I appreciate you,

Its all in the heart
You will become what is in your heart. Teams require personalites that can set aside their own interests in favor of team advancement.

Team Player
Your post gave me food for thought. The traits of a team player are what we all should aspire to. They are also what I need to keep in mind when I'm looking for someone to partner with. Thanks for the insight.
Friend,
