"It is always an individual who is the impetus for innovation; the details may be worked out by a team, but true innovation results from the enterprise and unique perception of an individual."
words 561 2.3.2008
The author claims that when it comes to(with respect to) innovation, individual is full responsible for it, due to his or her enterprise and unique perception. However, although the author's claim has merits to some extent, I think the author unfairly underestimates the important (critical, significant ) role of team work in the formation of innovations.
Before a direct analysis of the claim, the question comes to what true innovations are according to(accords with) the author's claim. It seems true innovations are the most original innovations, without details and evaluation, that is , the basic fragment of a new idea. In this case, I couldn't deny that chances are like that the innovation comes from ( emerges from) one individual's mind, rather than from two persons' at the same time. However, does this kind of definition of innovation make sense for us to study the way to create innovations? I'm afraid not. It is better to describe true innovation as valuable and original innovation without details about the application of it. Under this circumstance, the arguer is too extreme in exaggerating the role of individual in creating new ideas.
Admittedly, individuals can have innovations themselves. For example, Albert Einstein established the theory about relativity of space and time himself; Linus Torvalds developed the core of Linux operation system singly. Individual ability always is critical in innovation creating, and it is a basic requirement for innovations. However, I should say, genius like Einstein and Torvalds who can supersede a group of people are one of the very rare cases. And I'm sure, if they got some capable individuals, they may be able to further their innovations to a higher level.
Nevertheless, teamwork always plays an indispensable part in creation, especially in recent centuries, as a result of the growing demand for rapid development. First, Teamwork enables people to share ideas more effectively, and optimize the distribution of tasks by setting each member tasks he or she may be good at. To demonstrate this, we need look no future than the example of the discovery of the structure of DNA, which won Crick and Watson the 1962 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Crick majored in first physics then biology, while Watson was a biology scientist. Without either Crick's physics background or Watson's biology talent, they can never reach the extraordinary discovery by the innovation of using physical approach to solve biological problem. Interdisciplinary interaction like physics and biology has now become the most promising way to generate new ideas and solve new problems.
In addition, with reciprocal encouragement and definite cooperate determination, a team usually holds more chances than an individual in creating innovations. We may inevitably come across many ups and downs in our way of exploiting and researching, but as long as we realize we are not along in our journey of creation, we become more persistent and more confident. It is usually the encouragement from your team members that lifts your spirit and emboldens your mind. Absent of the benefits from teams, we are less likely to go through the seemly endless trial-and-error with the firm belief that innovation would finally come to us.
To sum up, in most cases, innovations come from cooperation, for in a group there are not only different voices towards a certain problem, but also spiritual help necessary in the way to innovation. And the genius who innovates himself are very rare cases, especially in modern society.
(我读了两遍,总算明白你的意思了. 语言有些生硬,注意句式和用词的变换哦 :loveliness: )
不错啊,继续加油
