Teamwork
This trait refers to the “I” versus “We”. A team
player is selfless and is always concerned about
the whole team rather than his own self. In‐
deed, others are looked upon as either equals
or even more important than his own self. A
team player is usually more open‐minded,
ready to acknowledge his own weaknesses in
order to turn them into strengths. One who
cannot admit mistakes are either foolish, igno‐
rant, arrogant or egoistic. Such people cannot
be a team player, unless he or she is prepared
to change. Table 3 shows the measurements
for ‘Teamwork’.

Innovation
Innovative spirit refers to a readiness to look for
better ways of doing things. A better way could
be a faster way or a cheaper way or more effi‐
cient way of doing things. An innovative person
is never satisfied with the status quo. He is not
complacent and will always feel that the room
for improvement is the largest in the world. One
of Matsushita’s engineers told him that he could
no longer improve the design of the face of the
TV they were producing. Matsushita told him,
“how come the human face can have billions of
different features on much smaller size than the
face of a TV. I am sure you can create new de‐
signs given that the face of the TV is much bigger
than the face of a human being”. Table 4 below
shows the measurements for ‘Innovation’.
