Formal education or skills and why? A combination of both. Formal education is essential no matter the level, but it will not always translate into results if equivalent skills aren't coupled with them. Example you can learn about how to fix an engine, but until you've done it you don't have complete knowledge as to how to accomplish the mission. Describe the benefits of working with others An average team can accomplish more then a great individual. A team will divide the workload, decreasing not only the time it takes to complete a task through specialization but also creating an energy. This energy found in a team-centric environment motives the team members to be more effective and efficient. When you have there back and they have yours, "impossible is nothing." Describe the benefits of working alone Working alone can, in certain situations, produce a more effective and efficient outcome on a particular task. If you allow your employees to work with little or no constraints other then constraints like mission intent accomplishment and personal responsibility, then you allow that employee to then draw upon their full acumen of experience and skill.
