Teamwork far outweighs individuality
Francis Galton a British Scientist applied statistical methods to demonstrate that groups made up of people at all intellectual levels, often performed better than any one individual. In one example he pointed out that a group of local residents could almost exactly guess the weight of an ox at a town fair.
The point he makes is: Under the right circumstances, groups are remarkably intelligent, and are often smarter than the smartest people in them. So basically groups can usually do better, have better information then the smartest individuals.

No man is an Island
It is proven over and over again that working with others is often the only way to massive success in business and all aspects of life. The best companies and people have been built with others by their side. Rarely does any one of us have all that’s required to succeed with the complex tasks we face every day in this turbulent world. You need your counter partner to fill in the strengths where you may have weaknesses.
When you play the role of enabler over 'disabler', you can have people contribute to improve problems, even at times people who are causing you problems. When you fight your critic to and prevent their contribution to avert pain they may cause you, this may very well be doing a disservice to your progress that they could contribute to. This is one way your enemies could actually help you in certain ways as sometimes your friends may never tell you the hard hitting criticism you need to hear to make the right change. Turn your me problems into we problems. This is how you can resolve persistent and resistant behaviors you hold.
Businesses Function Efficiently in Teamwork
This is how almost all great functioning businesses perform. They have employees that specialize in certain areas of expertise but all work in unisex to get the job completed in the best and most efficient way. Nobody is great at all aspects of everything in the world and all tasks can’t be done by one person.
This is why the best business people delegate tasks and not necessary have to perform them themselves. There is a saying of the man who chases 2 rabbits catches none. You can be performing 2 or many tasks at once but you are never becoming an expert in anything or at least doing them well. I believe multi tasking is for fools. If you are doing two things at once, you are doing them both at 50% capacity. It’s best to know what your strengths are and find others who are good at your lacking ones to fill them in.
This Applies to Specific Personally Skills
It is best to learn from others who are better than you are and even if you are the best, it is highly beneficial to have somebody watching to give you key critical criticism in the moment. We often have blind spots we are missing as we are in the game or hard at work in our moments. An outside pair of eyes is crucial to improve on the small details that make up our biggest improvements. This is why the best athletes have coaches, the richest most successful have mentors; businesses have managers and a hierarchy. This all helps us improve to continue to progress to the top and stay that way when we get there.
Don’t be shy to work with others and don’t let your ego prevent it. It is the very reason most people go down the school of hard knocks... failing over and over until they get it. This is not needed to achieve your goals, partner with others or get people to give you valid in the moment criticism to improve what you are doing.
