17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player: Becoming the Kind of Person Every Team Wants by John C. Maxwell

3.0

Short, easy read. Follows a consistent structure for each quality - a story to set the base, the message/moral of the story in list format and how to achieve this quality. Most of the tips seem obvious, but sleep on them and you'll learn how many/much do you actually follow them. There's a lot of books that promise to make you a good leader, but not that many that promise to make you a good team player. The 17 qualities in the book are: Adaptable, Collaborative, committed, communicative, competent, dependable, disciplined, enlarging, enthusiastic, intentional, mission conscious, prepared, relational, self-improving, selfless, solution oriented, tenacious. Maxwell could have improved the book by providing more actionable tips.
