Name one quality you think is essential in a team mate.

Choosing just one is hard and it really depends on what role they fill. But a critical trait for anyone I work with: high ethical standards. Naval articulates why this is so important in this 3 minute podcast.

Hmm tough one - empathy is my fave but if I had to choose another I'd have to say clear, honest communication.

I would counterintuitively say : Lazy. As the good old Bill Gates says, “I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job, because he will find an easy way to do it.”

Transparency

Honest communication when issues/blockers arise.

I’d have to agree on Empathy, makes you a better team mate and a better designer 😊

Open-mindedness. Without this quality, one can't accept feedback, learn and improve.

Empathy is such a good one! Work ethic is a quality I value hugely in my teammates. Being surrounded by people working hard always encourages me to do more of my best work. Great question!

Encouraging - I think the ability to give a team mate support and confidence is extremely important
