Take the example of brainstorming sessions, which have been wildly popular in corporate America since the 1950s, when they were pioneered by a charismatic ad executive named Alex Osborn.

If you have talented and motivated people, they should be encouraged to work alone when creativity or efficiency is the highest priority.”
This is not to say that we should abolish groupwork. But we should use it a lot more judiciously than we do today.
