Team roles and responsibilities

As an effective team member you should be able to:
• List the fundamental roles required in a team.
• Recognize that team roles are specific and defined, but connected to one another as well.
• Determine some of the informal roles in teams.
• Recognize that not all roles are filled all the time.
• Respect and value the function and purpose of each team member.
In a way, every person on a team is a leader and will demonstrate leadership at different times. Among other things, every person in a team has a responsibility to:
· Improve quality
· Instill pride of workmanship
· Increase output
· Find better ways of working and make continuous improvements
· Remove the causes of failure
· Provide training
· Help others do a better job with less effort
· Make it possible for everyone to do a better job with greater satisfaction
