YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"We should question the teamwork research juggernaut as being always suitable for all people. Putting everyone into teams can turn off your most talented people." Christopher Jackson
Greta Thunberg, Steve Jobs, Donald Trump and Gina Rinehart all have one thing in common, they like to work alone. Mavericks are eccentric, unconventional, risk-taking, and disruptive – whilst also success oriented and goal directed.
They are comfortable making decisions and persevering in actions which go against the status quo. Conventional wisdom is clear – teamwork, collaboration and diversity lead to better learning and decision making, but what happens when teamwork doesn’t make the dreamwork? Are some individuals better left alone?

What can we learn while we are apart? Short talks from isolation.
In a year that has tested our resolve, and has seen our lives change profoundly, UNSW researchers reflect on the lessons we can learn from our socially distanced world.
If we take heed of these lessons, can we improve our lives for the better and hold onto the things we value most? These lessons can be the silver lining to all this disruption – and can help us thrive, not merely survive in challenging times.
In this series, hear from nine UNSW researchers as they explore what we can learn during this time of isolation and change.
A UNSW Centre for Ideas and Grand Challenges program collaboration.
