In chemistry alloying is a process in which two metals (also non-metals) are mixed together to produce a metal with superior properties to either of the metals individually e.g. bronze made from ~90% copper and ~10% tin is harder and chemically more resistant than either copper or tin.
In teams, you will have some members who are superstars, highly motivated to get promotions, and are on a higher growth trajectory but also get bored with staying too long at one place. You will also have some rockstars, team members who have rock solid knowledge and expertise but are happy with what they do and where they are. Both are equally important.
A team where everyone has good ideas but doesn’t have someone who can understand which ideas are worth pursuing won’t be strong.
No one has time and skills to do everything however alloying of individuals can bring us the best results.
