Ethics in Teams

There are a lot of ethical responsibilities that a team member needs to consider while working in a team.

·         I believe that team members should work for the benefit of their teams and not for their individual benefits.

·         Show honesty and integrity while doing your part for the team. This involves building a level of trust between each team member, and between the members and their leaders.

·         The leader’s words should be consistent with his/her actions. There should be a consistency between their words and deeds.

·         Every team member should respect others’ opinions, it is not necessary that every opinion given must be agreed upon but they should be heard and given feedback prior to that.

·         Make sure whether teams are cooperative with each other rather than being competitive and against each other.

·         Members should decide to put their best efforts for the benefit of the steam so they can succeed together.

·         It is an ethical responsibility of the leader to mentor their team members and encourage teamwork, and solve conflicts if they arise.

·         Every team member should analyse situations on their own and provide feedback.

·         Teams should work collectively and members should provide assistance to each other wherever they require in order for the team to perform effectively.
