There's a joke somewhere about rowing teams and how the US tried to improve performance by replacing all the rowers with rowing managers. Almost all structure is organized into log n tree structures to manage complexity. There's limited room at the top. All advice that focuses driving towards these limited spots seem ill conceived to me. The overall goal should be to improve the overall wealth of each node. But when everyone is trying and training to be a leader, you end up with 99% rejects with strengths that actually hamper them to be productive because now they think they're too good for everything else.
