I'm gonna analyze myself in a teamwork situation!
I have to say that I feel pretty comfortable in this situations, even when it comes to work with team members I don't really talk with, I'm always positive that we're gonna get along.
I'm aware of the fact that everyone has a different way to go through a process of work, and I think the best way to deal with the differences is to narrow down a sort of schedule that can work for everyone trying to stick to it as much as possible, being anyway adaptable to any changes required.
I'm the first element, in a group, who will unfortunately bring availability issues, this is because my life is always hectic and busy. But I always try to do my best in being somehow reliable, even if that means staying up all night...
This is a good thing, and by that I mean from a trustworthy point of view; but unfortunately it has, from the other side, also a negative connotation because I don't really give my partners the time to look at my work and organize properly the work.
I don't think is a matter of disorganization or procrastination, or maybe it is?
I always try to do my best, especially if someone else is counting on my work, I feel more responsible in that kind of contest, therefore I think I end up putting even more effort than usual.
The above said I think I can be considered a good partner, if not for the "last minute" issue that for some people might be a very very big issue though!!
These are the adjectives, positive and negative, which I would use to describe myself in a teamwork situation:
positive
analytical | I tend to analyze any single aspect of each work/project I'm up to, sometimes even way too much
adaptable | I always try to adapt my ideas and my schedule to the other components of the group, there is no reason to cause problems if you can find a solution to a possible issue!
reliable | I always try to get feedback to any kind of request and anyone can totally rely on my presence and/or work, I see it as a matter of respect
motivated | if you are not interested in what you are doing, what's the point in doing it? therefore, even if sometimes it's hard, I always try to have motivation and enthusiasm
hard working | as I wrote before, even if it means staying up all night... I do it! I never back up from hard work!
helpful | I like helping people, partners, friends or class mates... actually, most of the times I give priority to their needs instead of mines!
negative
rigid | When it gets to follow specifications I'm really rigid, even if they might not be that important.
stubborn | if I think that something is important and has to be done, I will not give up until it's done
aloof | yes, I tend to be really quiet and let always someone else lead, sometimes I feel I don't share my thoughts because I'm shy
complacent | related to the previous adjective, I go along with everything, especially from a conceptual point of view
analytical | I know, this is actually an adjective I put also in my positive qualities, but sometimes, when you have to work faster and have it done in a very short frame of time, you should be less analytical and just go with your instinct
This is how I am, in brief I think I am a pretty good partner to work with, even though my partners should definitely have the quality of adaptableness.
