You require both team players and "rockstar" individuals. It's not one or the other or a competition, because they do different things.

Yes if you put a someone who can't work on a team on a team and expect team work then that will not work. But that's obvious, so then don't do that. Expecting a homogeneous workforce isn't realistic or optimal.

Hard disagree.

Some of the best, most successful, and most impactful projects I've ever been on had no "rockstars" at all.

People who refer to themselves as rockstars is a huge red flag.
