There are ways to be competitive without being competitive. Example: Some people love to be the smartest person in the room so they'll beat their ideas over the heads of everyone else. I don't really want to deal with those people, so if I think there is a better idea, I'll get buy-in by going to everyone one-on-one. Sometimes that means "my" idea is co-opted by someone else or the team in general, but I'm okay with that because it's worth it to me to see the best strategy more forth. But the real fun is when Mr Blusterpants knows it was my idea that won.
