ИИ обобщение, инфо и препратки към интересен материал за "колективния гений". Последният е от гледна точка на САЩ-граждани/н, т.е. фокус върху ефикасност, т.е. резултатност, постигане на целите.  

Това е доминиращата сега култура... Но според мен, ако обърнем повече внимание на етичния аспект, биха натежали и неща като толерантност и дори насърчаване на неконформизъм и други начини за поставяне на етични спирачки.

Based on the content of the Fast Company article, which is drawn from the book Team Intelligence: How Brilliant Leaders Unlock Collective Genius by behavioral scientist Jon Levy, the key to high-performing teams is not raw talent or a single heroic leader, but rather how the team operates as a cohesive unit.

The core argument is that the common assumption—that more talent should always mean better results—is often false.

The article argues that true success lies in Team Intelligence, which is defined by how organizations manage to:

 * Align and Focus the collective efforts of the individuals.

 * Unlock the resources already present within the team.

Essentially, a team's culture and collective genius are more important than the individual brilliance of its members. High-performing teams are those that successfully create an environment where people can thrive and collaborate effectively together.
