The post makes a very solid point:

"Quality of individuals is only one part of what makes an organization great. Sports is rife with examples of the nimble, well-connected team triumphing over the team of individual superstars."

However the author doesn't really expand on this theme. How does a startup that's not obsessed with hiring "A-level rock stars" groom its people to mesh them into a great organization, a well-connected team? This is not elaborated.

The conclusion of the post is: "Sometimes people just want a greasy burger"... Which does not conjure up images of a team that is greater than the sum of its parts, unless McDonalds somehow qualifies :)
