What would be your ideal team?
The meaning behind the question:
Your perception of what makes for a successful team will be a factor of what you see as being a successful working manner and also how you perceive your ideal team to be. Your answer will therefore give the interviewer a lot of useful information as to both your capabilities and your compatibility. It'll give them insight into what kind of a team player you are.

Teamwork is essential in the vast majority of working environments. It requires four core abilities:
The ability to communicate effectively with others
The ability to recognise and understand the viewpoints of others
The ability to appreciate the contribution you are expected to make
The ability to build strong interpersonal relationships
A successful team player will possess all of these qualities and a successful team is clearly comprised of successful team players.
Show the interviewer that you understand these key teamwork factors.
