"You should help your teammates and colleagues." is not, by itself, an argument. It's a moral precept.
"You should help your teammates and colleagues produce more value for the company because we hired you to produce value for the company" is an argument.
Now if the company's employee evaluation process doesn't recognize the second-order value you produced here then that's the company's problem, not yours.

I think I personally skewed too far into trying to do unmeasurable things, but I feel like it would be miserable to live on the other extreme where you only do things that are measurable and benefit your career. Where does that thinking end? If I don't feel like finding a garbage can, should I just throw my trash on the ground as long as nobody sees me? After all, it's the city's fault that they haven't set up incentives to prevent me from littering.
