Agreed. You really hit the nail on the head when you said "aggressive." This strategy seems like it would create an artificially competitive zero-sum game within the company where employees who should be working together are competing to be the golden volunteer for the boss. I think it would be better to always have fewer tasks than people (not more tasks, like the author seems to suggest), but establish high-level goals for the team as a whole. You'll quickly see who is best at understanding the goals, turning them into work, and recruiting other people to help do that work, which is real leadership (not just jumping to do extra tasks).
