Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies suggest that agreeableness (being cooperative and easy to work with) and conscientiousness (being reliable and organized) are the personality traits most closely associated with team effectiveness. Other factors, such as emotional stability and composition, may also have an impact, but these are not the key predictors. It is also possible for individuals to learn and develop team skills over time, so the idea that team skills are fixed by nature is not accurate.
