Collective thinking or consideration for the whole is not at odds with individualism. Quite the contrary. They work toward the benefit of both.
Take music for example. Playing music in a group environment is an individual joy that allows for personal expression, freedom of expression, individual growth and self gratification, but it shines brightest when the band ( collective) sounds great as an ensemble.

Michael Jordan scored 50 pts a game and the Bulls hadn't won a championship. Michael Jordan scored 35 points a game, included the other players to support his greatness and they won 6 championships. I'd hardly consider limits on Michael's individualism. But the team winning was sweetest.
