Criteria of Team Work Player

Dear friends,

Recently I have technical arguments with IT staff from different department relating to DNS. We are a not a large organization, but we have a deep hierarchical organization structure.

I admit that I do not have the quality of a good team work player though I have the technical skill required to administer all of the DNS servers in this organizations.

What is the criteria of a good quality team work player ? How am I suppose to improve myself in a team ?

Or is there are some “trigger keywords” being used doing the argument that make the argument heated ?
