The good ones step up their game when the stars are out. That’s what makes good utility players — they show up and perform at a higher level especially when the team needs them. And they focus on the task at hand, not the reward.
These awesome team members are hard to find. They are selfless, shy away from the limelight, yet perform admirably. Most of the time, they are even better than the stars — certainly more consistent.
Once you find them, sit back and watch them work their magic. I am blessed to have more than a few utility players on my team, and they make the journey even more special.
