Yeah, and I think this is where it's fair for the author to use terms like "leverage", since you're effectively multiplying force. To be fair, though, I don't think having that team-first mentality (where you're focused on improving the team's productivity as opposed to your own) necessarily implies pervasive "management thinking" (for lack of a better phrase) or even soft skills. I imagine we can all think of teams where that isn't the case.
