Having led all kinds of different teams in the past 25 years, from sports and Navy SEALs to companies and charities, I have discovered seven traits that characterize unstoppable teammates. These are the general traits required—the must-haves for powerful team dynamics—regardless of the team’s circumstances or challenges.
1. Competence
A curiosity to learn new skills and develop mastery of new subjects.
2. Perspective
Thoughtfulness about the way past experiences and challenges have shaped attitudes, beliefs and behaviors.
3. Communication
The ability and willingness to express ideas and emotions.
4. Drive
A can-do spirit, strong work ethic and the hunger to succeed.
5. Humility
Inclusiveness, self-awareness and respect for others.
6. Flexibility
An openness to new perspectives and the adaptability to let go of one idea or belief to embrace another.
7. Selflessness
A willingness to serve others and place the truth and others’ interests above your own self-interest.
