Team members don't have specific responsibilities, but theirparticipation is critical to the team's success. Team members mustagree to:
Be enthusiastic and committed to the team's purpose. Be honest and keep any confidential information behind closed
doors.
Share responsibility to rotate through other team roles likefacilitator, recorder, and timekeeper. Share knowledge and expertise and not withhold information. Ask questions, even seemingly "dumb" ones. Often the new
perspective of "inexperienced" team members can provide insight.
Fulfill duties in between meetings. Respect the opinions and positions of others on the team, even if
the person has an opposing view or different opinion.
