Why Heroes are Bad

I came across an interesting article today on the topic of project heroism and why it can be bad for an organization.  There are some really insightful points here for those of us who have built teams and organizations in our lifetimes. 

Many organizations have heroes, building world class functional teams means equipping every member of the team for feats of heroism :)  This can be hard for the heroes in your organization to accept, which may lead to turnover and painful conversations.  As the article points out, in the long run this is a good thing.
