defend or critique the following statement: “people who are unable to put aside their own interests should not be on teams
plz hurry

I would critique it. Although you are on a team it is smart and good to have your own interests. For example, in the business world when you are working with the team, you want to work with everybody else but you have your own interest in being an employee of the month. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It goes the same for anything else. For example, sports, you want your team to get to a certain playoff, but in your own interests, you also want to get MVP on your team. But be careful, if you have your own interests it may defer you from the team's interest. For example, if you want to get MVP and someone is on top of you, you injure that person and then the team doesn't make the playoffs however you get the MVP title anyways. This would be an example of a bad stance of the quote.
