Your best bet is instead of removing shared intentionality, make the race one that really dislikes group endeavors, Loner.

They can work together at a remove.

Otherwise if you really want a race that shouldn't have language or communal work projects, create a disad. I'd use Low Empathy but with the penalties towards understanding and performing shared tasks. Probably penalties to Leadership tasks as well.

If the race has language, they could certainly understand "Go do this", but not grasp the intuitive angle of why they should. Though if they can't even barter, you'll have a hard time getting them to do it without using a strong carrot-stick method.
