Considering our case, what does the rule of collective individualism mean?

It means that the team members have to leave enough space to Laura in order to express her knowledge, experiences and skills at best. Laura has to be encouraged and supported in sharing this value with all the team, so they can all pursue the team objective with more effectiveness and efficiency. In this sense, it is correct that Laura's final result should be considered differently from the others.

If Laura were to put her own individual objectives before the team's, then she would be acting against the correct functioning of the team.
