Working In A Team

     There will be several occasions through out life in which you will have to work with others. If you have a loud personality like I do, this can often be difficult to deal with, but you can do it. I have been working on this for a while now, and I have found that working with other people is actually quite enjoyable. You just have to remember a few tips...
     Listen to others. People don't just state their opinions for no reason. It is important for you to listen to what other people have to say so that you can understand their personalities better. 
     Just because you have loud (not necessarily referring to noise) opinions doesn't mean you should let them be crushed because you want to be nice. There is a way to get your points across with out being rude or completely taking over what ever task is at hand. Be firm on your beliefs, but do not be overpowering, and let others in the team know that their opinions count too. 
     If you are in charge, do not get big-headed. If you know that you have an issue with getting a little full of yourself, let the team of people know that up front. Ask them to tell you when ever they feel you are getting overly aggressive. Remember, when working together, communication is the key to success.
