I’ve seen some organizations where the emphasis on teams was so strong that an imbalance in the creative development of some employees was sacrificed for the benefit of “team think.” This group think mentality, while very effective in some areas, when over emphasized, can stifle that vital element necessary to furthering corporate goals.
