I like to do things my way too

That could be
Social Loafing, in which people put more effort when they work alone than in a group, but that applies to for example a personal project vs a group project so not sure if that matches your case.
That could also be
Social Facilitation, in which people do better on things that
they are already good at,
when there are more people watching. For things they they are not good at, it's better for them to work alone.
