For one, we tend to focus on “the one” person who single handedly accomplished a goal. Or, two, we tend to focus on the larger team involved in delivering a goal. What if neither are correct? What if it’s a small team or two or three that work closely together while others float in and out at different times. Looking at historical accomplishments, e.g., Wright Brothers, Gilbert and Sullivan, Apollo 13, we see exactly this pattern.
