Your features probably don't see the light of day without some cooperation from others, but they could be of higher quality than what you do in teams. Only you would know that. I would think developing team aptitude would benefit anyone, especially those whose individual efforts need to find an audience. Doesn’t sound like a binary call to me.

I also write features on my own. It could be argued that I am on the publisher's team (or the reader's) but, really, I just work alone on this and sell it where I can. Personal development might include learning to work better in a team environment via training sessions and focus groups. Personal development might also include learning to fly an airplane -- at least it did for me and I value that much more than emoting with my teams. People are different. Different people are different in different ways. Would it make sense, for instance, to take to China, Japan and India the message that you can achieve more by thinking and working alone, unfettered by the prejudices and limitations of the people around you, thus gaining the American advantage of individualism?
