Someone who has an OODA loop much faster than the rest of the group will go off on their own, not bring people along.

But if they did bring people along they'd be on a short leash, way less able to scout out ahead.

How do you let them run ahead, try out different paths, and scout ahead and then come back to converge to point the way?

How do you collaborate with them as part of a coherent whole?

The Hash House Harriers might provide a parallel.

These are non-competitive social running groups, where a trail is set and everyone runs it at the same time together.

The trail is marked by periodic markings of flour.

Every so often the trail ends in a "check": an X of flour.

The trail then goes cold, and will pick back up somewhere maybe hundreds of feet away.

At a check, the runners have to fan out (a swarm!) to find where the trail picks back up.

When anyone finds it, they yell "on, on!" so that everyone else knows they found it and to follow them.

This has a nice dynamic: it allows slower runners to keep up.

The fastest runners get to the check first, and fan out in different directions.

Any individual fast runner likely picked the wrong direction to search for the trail, and will have to double back once it's found.

The slowest runners will arrive at the check later, and will fan out only a little bit before the trail is found, and won't have to double back at all.

This clever little collective intelligence mechanism is one reason Hash House Harriers are such popular and enduring social groups.
