One of the Principles of teamwork is that teams are made up of individuals and that individual performance is key to team performance. There are too many situations where teams believe everything must be done in unison, that every team member must be involved or participate in everything the happens.
Teamwork does not mean endless meetings, It means finding ways to integrate into the whole without compromising on individual performance. Think of a sports team - there is the coordination and common goal but also the star performers and the journeymen.
