Good team players aren’t just born

There are certain traits and characteristics that make some employees better team players than others, according to executives polled for a new Accountemps survey. The most important for the 150 executives polled was the ability to meet deadlines, according to 40 percent of respondents. That’s up from 37 percent about 10 years ago. Employees who are considered good team players also avoid office politics and are pleasant to work with, according to the survey. Accountemps is an international temporary staffing service for the accounting industry.
