Reminds me of this quote:

> "A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a joke or worried to death by a frown on the right person's brow."

-Charles Browder

I think that teams can be very creative; with a “whole is greater than the sum of the parts” effect, but it has to be the right team.

Personality fit, and synergy have as much to do with it, as raw talent.

I have worked with teams of highly-talented and educated people that actually had a “whole is less than the sum of the parts” effect.

I think efforts to commodify creativity are doomed to fail.
