there's no I in team

English

Proverb

there's no I in team

1. Teamwork should focus on the needs of the team, not on the individual.
   • 2004, Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, Shaun of the Dead, spoken by Shaun (Simon Pegg):

     As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in "team", but there is an "I" in "pie". And there's an "I" in "meat pie". Anagram of "meat" is "team"… I don't know what he's talking about.
