Team members are looking for a "values fit" with their team. Without it, they won't give the team their best. Team members should participate in establishing shared values and values-based common goals if you wish them to live these values, be committed to these goals, and have a feeling of interdependence and ownership for their jobs
Be a team player. The most valuable single factor that contributes towards high levels of excellence and quality in a team, stem from an individual team member's ability to work with others, i.e. his or her levels of cooperation and communication. You should also make each of the team member important.
A team can also build a team culture. A specific culture where you can all go along with or a system that you can actually apply to everyone in your team. It is becoming increasingly important that teams function productively with a minimum of supervision. Team culture ensures that individual members both demonstrate their best talents and function going to only one direction as a unit to achieve common goals. When team culture reigns, teams are dependable and consistent. People voice their opinions openly. They demonstrate creativity, innovate and see a job through to conclusion.

I would have to agree that a leader should also be a good follower or has been a good follower when he was still a rank and file. a good team leader should also be a good team player. Thank you for your nice thoughts.
