Dear Naïma:
We are born with a talent, and, given time, we keep learning to make this talent grow and fructify. Teamwork is a specific talent, but I feel we must develop our personality as much as we can to ensure a sense of independence and self-assurance. Not all disciplines welcome teamwork. Writing, making art, etc., need a personal development that cannot be compensated by teamwork. A team can drown any talent. Collaboration is quite another matter, very different from teamwork. Collaborators share specific things, and their help might come in handy in concrete situations, like giving you some references, reading parts of a manuscript, or giving you a contact. If your are into poetry, fend by yourself. If you are into rocket science, get a team. If you play the guitar, work alone, if your a a cellist, get an orchestra. The important thing is that you are responsible for nursing your own talent. Once you become aware of what is your talent for, THEN, you decide if your going to fly solo, or join a bandwagon.
Best regards, Lilliana
If we want to be creative in research field,We have to learn,spend time with and use our individual born talent.
If talking about scientific creativity then I think good working team will help your to learn more and to enhance your expertise and thinking capacity.

Ideas are original and useful. Creativity consists from five components -imagination, intuition, ingenuity, insight, inspiration .Two types of thinking are compulsory that is Divergent and convergent thinking. We need improvement in the development of three master skills-creativity, critical thinking and influence are essential for next generation of researchers.
I would say, all of the above (depth of knowledge in the field, time and experience, good team), but there's one ability that cannot be ignored: the ability to make paradigm shifts. The ability to see associations beyond the obvious and immediate.
I can't say for sure whether this ability is an innate talent, whether it comes with depth of understanding and experience, or a mix. What I have noticed is that insufficient depth of knowledge on a given topic leads to inability to make paradigm shits, or equally unfortunate, jumping to conclusions. The 2 + 2 = 5 syndrome.
