Or to put a positive spin on it, it shows that cultishness can sometimes be used to do good, productive work.

I think calling your response "a positive spin" is conceding too much. The bottom line is:

the more effective the team became.

That's fact, not spin.

I question even calling it "cultishness". An in-group, certainly.
