History celebrates “great men” like Edison, Jobs, and Musk, but the truth is that real breakthroughs nearly always come from teams—groups that learn how to cooperate effectively, stick together, and build upon one another’s strengths.
Too often, workplace managers mirror this cultural bias becoming infatuated with star performers. They lavish pr...
