Individual Brilliance – Sign of something else?

US goalkeeper,Tim Howard made record saves in a WC football match that his team lost.We can see all the action in one frame.We can see the rest of the team didn’t do as well defending & so the last line of defense had to turn in an exceptional performance.In corporate life,outstanding individual performance could be masking collective failure,not so apparent because all the action does not take place in one frame.An outstanding individual performance that saves the day is a sign of systemic concern.
