Honestly, what is team spirit, or better yet, "team-work"? It's for people with no personality.
Now, I can understand the value of team-work in military and defense (police, firefighters) functions, but in civilian life, it's inevitably passive-aggressive dullards and suburban Napoleons with nothing to show for as Team Leader.
When I was growing up I hated teams and groups. I refused to put myself into "groups" whenever the teacher instructed us so; and when I was eventually forced into some despicable entity, I never did anything save for what I wanted to do which was usually being idle and browsing a book I had specifically brought for that express purpose. Besides, the group's ideas were usually inane and the people even more inane--somewhere they must have read that prissy overachieving was the key to success. Maybe it is in the mainstream world.
Team-work and team-spirit are two steps away from Communism, mass trends, slogans, and collective hysteria.
