"sharing goals and ideas and hyping each other"

I will be cynical but this does not sound like some work is being done there. Reminds me of the guys of the gym who spend 90% time here just talking.

To me it sounded like the other 10%. While the 90% will be there and not all will necessarily interrupt on purpose (they can be guided to increase the 10%), you focus your most productive interactions with the 10%. From time to time you work with the other 90%, and that helps everybody up the game.

I prefer to work/live alone, but to deny the benefits of camaraderie and relationships with a high-performing team? Absurd.
