team play
Working in sync
Team play is cooperative action toward a shared goal, where individual effort serves the group rather than personal glory.
The term comes from sports but applies anywhere collaboration matters: The project succeeded because of strong team play.
Someone who emphasizes team play prioritizes coordination and mutual support over standing out.
