both free-thinkers/individualists/leaders and the opposite (followers) are necessary for a functioning group
the more backup plans (exits/entries into the tunnels) you have, the less likely it is that you’ll end up trapped or with no options.
sheer luck in numbers can be very useful. if the group does lots of different things at once, odds are higher that one of them will find something the group wants or needs.
not every member of a group needs to be self-sufficient. the more members of a group there are, the truer this is.
Just trying lots of things is one of the surest methods of success.
Simply because most or all of the group is doing one thing doesn’t mean it’s the right thing. Since groups have decision-making inertia, it’s possible that they fell into doing that thing either through sheer chance, or because of a fact that was true once but no longer is.

I'm currently a bit obsessed with the wasps and bees I see around. I'm pretty sure if they were our size, they'd be accepted as a species having achieved civilization
