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.
【F3】
选项
答案
在很多活动中,想要取得成功需要朝着共同的目标,相互团结协作,这远比个人的能力要重要。
解析
①本句为主从复合句,包含一个定语从句。②主句为简单的主谓宾结构,定语从句修饰先行词collaborative,cooperative work,说明团体合作比个人能力要重要。beyond作介词,意为“超过;越过”;句末的of any one individual作the capability的后置定语,意为“个人能力”。
