Discipline, empathy, psychology (understanding a person's character, communication, and approach to work), maintaining distance (adhering to a working relationship model, not overstepping boundaries), a calm attitude towards work (not overestimating your role in the process, avoiding the urge to reinvent things every time, and being open to changes and if a project doesn't turn out as expected).—the respondent’s response
Especially nowadays, working almost 100% remotely, I believe empathy is one of the most important factors. Particularly when communicating through typing, you can't accurately see and feel how the other person is on that specific day. This is to name one.—the respondent’s response
I work for companies that sell on online marketplaces. I find a better understanding by actively listening and researching what my colleagues say. I try to view the issue from their perspective.
For example, when they propose design changes, my initial reaction is objection. I don't want to compromise the design for marketing or other purposes. But later I come to realize that they are right, and I decide to make the necessary adjustments.—the respondent’s response
Letting go of perfectionism and flow. Don't opress your ideas and accept other ways thats the base of collaboration.—the respondent’s response

C.
Shared team goals minimize misunderstandings and chances of misalignment and foster a collective sense of ownership.
Ultimately, this unity around a vision not only improves the quality of the final design but also nurtures a collaborative culture where every team member is motivated to contribute their best efforts.
