This is a helpful article to open team members to seeing star performance as contributing outside of their current workflows and tasks. To establish efficient workflows, processes are aligned by teams or individuals but a negative side effect is rigidity. Star team members consider how to help outside of their workflows and are open to new responsibility.
We have been taught to believe that there is a star, and then the supporting cast. In football, legendary Liverpool coach, Bill Shankly, summed up the game thus: It is a simple game and is a lot like playing the piano. You need three who can play the instrument, and eight to carry the damn thing. There is always a job to do in and for the team. Just like in everyday life, ego is often the enemy.
If a coach told you, "There is no I in TEAM", he or she lied! I have taught the following for many years,
There is an "I" in TEAM. What can I do today to help my TEAM achieve our goals? What can I do today to help my teammates and myself maximize each of our strengths and minimize each of our weaknesses?

I consider this long-term thinking and do my best to work this way. Any advice for how to show this approach on a resume?

Good take on a common phrase used. There will always be the place of the "I", what can I do for you today?
