Privacy, team work, and creating magic.

What does ‘teamwork’ mean in a contemporary workplace? Does it mean high energy no-walls-in-between discussions, everyone valuing/criticizing others opinion, until consensus is reached? Or does it mean solo stars outshining the results by working alone, focusing energy saved from discussions into relentless doing and improving?

What do you think works better?

Mandating shy/creative people to talk and socialize and collaborate in hallways, or letting them work a solution out in a focused solitary corner, and letting them shine and re-shine it?

Food for thought:-)
