What have you done in past situations to contribute toward a teamwork environment?

"Whenever I've held leadership positions, I have always believed that the best way for me to encourage teamwork was to model it myself. I make sure to show that I am open to the ideas and input of others. I am respectful and approachable. I also frequently speak about having a team mentality where we all work together toward shared goals. Within my last role, I also initiated team get-togethers so we could get to know each other outside of work. It worked well; the team bonded, truly becoming friends, which benefited us all as we worked together to achieve business objectives."
