Whether you’re the owner of the Dallas Cowboys or captain of the playground dodge ball team, the goal in picking players is the same: Get the top talent. Hearts have been broken, allegiances tested, and budgets over spent as teams contend for the best athletes. 【F1】
The motivation for recruiting peak performers is obvious—exceptional players are the key to team success—and this belief is shared not only by coaches and sports fans, but also by corporations, investors, and even whole industries.
Everyone wants a team of stars.
While there is no denying that exceptional players can put points on the board and enhance team success, new research by Roderick Swaab and colleagues suggests there is a limit to the benefit top talents bring to a team. Swaab and colleagues compared the amount of individual talent on teams with the teams’ success, and they find striking examples of more talent hurting the team.
For both basketball and soccer, they found that top talent did in fact predict team success, but only up to a point. 【F2】
Furthermore, there was not simply a point of diminishing returns with respect to top talent; there was in fact a cost.
Basketball and soccer teams with the greatest proportion of elite athletes performed worse than those with more moderate proportions of top level players.
Why is too much talent a bad thing? Think teamwork. 【F3】
In many activities, success requires collaborative, cooperative work towards a goal that is beyond the capability of any one individual.
Even Em-mitt Smith needed effective blocking from the Cowboy offensive line to gain yardage. When a team roster is flooded with individual talent, pursuit of personal star status may prevent the attainment of team goals. 【F4】
The basketball player chasing a point record, for example, may cost the team by taking risky shots instead of passing to a teammate who is open and ready to score.
The lessons here extend beyond the ball field to any group or activity that must balance competitive and collaborative efforts, including corporate teams, financial research groups, and brainstorming exercises. 【F5】
So before breaking the bank to recruit superstars, team owners and industry experts might want to consider whether the goal they are trying to achieve relies on individual talent alone, or concerted efforts from the team.
If the latter, it would be wise to reign in the talent and focus on teamwork.
【F1】
选项
答案
雇佣顶尖队员的目的显而易见——杰出的运动员是球队获胜的关键——这种观念不仅是教练和球迷的共识,也是企业、投资者甚至整个体育行业所认同的。
解析
①本句是由and连接的并列复合句。②分句1为主系表结构,两个破折号之间的句子是对前句作补充说明,可视为插入语,说明聘请优秀运动员的目的是因为其能成为获胜的关键。③第二个破折号后是and连接的分句2,谓语使用了被动语态(is shared by),后面是由not only…but also…连接两个并列的介宾短语(by…fans和by...industries),意为“不但……而且……”,说明有这种共同观点的对象。
