Passage Summary: A manager thinks hiring 'lone wolves' will make a great team because research says loose groups are better than tight ones.

Conclusion: The manager's plan to build a successful team by hiring independent workers who dislike group settings is guaranteed to work.

Reasoning: Research indicates that flexible, loosely organized groups perform better than rigid, tight-knit groups when working toward a shared goal.

Analysis: The manager is making a massive leap from 'loosely bound groups' to 'people who hate groups.' While a group might have a flexible structure, it still requires members who are willing to participate in that structure. The manager's plan involves hiring people who explicitly prefer *not* to work in groups, which might undermine the 'common purpose' the research relies on. Look for an answer that identifies this shift from the organizational style of a group to the individual personality flaws of the people being hired.
