Teamwork: why some people don't like it

Article Abstract:

Many engineers are surprisingly not yet sold on the concept of teamwork. Some of them are convinced that they are talented enough to complete projects on their own. Others just had the misfortune of being previously involved in a badly managed team, or one with the wrong combination of members. Others are disappointed that their team managers do not value their involvement.
