Embrace your team self. The person you know as an individual do-er may not be the person you are on a team. We all have our personalities which are fairly constant, but being on a team can bring out aspects of each of us that we don't normally experience when working by ourselves. That's a good thing. The team will get what it needs, and you will discover something about yourself.

They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit.
