You seem to be saying that, if an individual is a member of a team, they a) cannot do _anything_ outside the context of that team and b) they can't belong to any other teams. That's a very strange set of conditions to imply. Just because you're an employee of the NSA does not mean you can't use your math skills to design a better horse trailer (assuming the NSA doesn't design horse trailers ...).
Granted, lots of employers include noncompete clauses in their employment contracts. But they're usually limited to a domain and time and space ranges. So, an individual still has most of their repertoire available to them outside any 1 team to which they belong. I can see a situation where, if you simultaneously join too many teams with noncompete contracts, then your ability to act as an individual will shrink. But my guess is the extent to which any particular team can claim exclusive right to a particular skill/trait of its members is very limited. And I also guess that individuals only have a limited number of teams they can possibly commit to. On 10/27/2016 02:11 PM, Marcus Daniels wrote:

And sure, skills are honed, but at the end of the day it is still selling out.
