The steady quest for knowledge gives scientists the exceptional privilege of being able to answer “I do not know” when asked a difficult question.They do not need to pretend knowing more than they 1 do， and their success is not 2 by the number of likes they get on social media.Other professional disciplines， such as business，politics or religion， do not 3 an empty answer and do not allow frank transactions of this type.
But scientists can 4 a full salary while admitting that they do not know what most of the universe is made of， 5 they have no 6 about the nature of dark matter and dark energy.In the commercial or political world， they would have been denied pay 7 they projected an image of at least pretending to know 8 they are talking about.

Prevailing wisdom always has us use teamwork as much as possible to face challenges head-on. The theory is that working in teams—especially those with different skillsets and backgrounds—sparks innovation， 1 flexibility，and leads to better outcomes. However， recent research suggests that maximizing teamwork often fails to 2 the results we expect ; in fact， in some cases， it 3 them.
The reality is that productive teamwork and collaboration are hard to 4 . Bringing together people with 5 expertise can potentially stall rather than 6 innovation， especially when 7 to an urgent need. Not to mention the larger， structural 8 that often leave team members jockeying for positions， making power grabs， and withholding information to protect their turf.
This is not to say we should throw teamwork 9 the window entirely. 10 ， we believe a change in mindset about how to best 11 it is needed to achieve the flexibility and resilience.
12 maximizing teamwork， research on what distinguishes flexible organizations suggests that we need to rightsize it. This means 13 what form and how much teamwork is needed at each stage of a project to get it done efficiently and effectively. Rightsizing teamwork requires 14 selecting the right people to contribute，at the right time.
