These chapters are really geared towards myself and friendships that I have. The example in chapter 5 about the conductor that doesn't know his members of the orchestra personally, but would like to. The members hold him in such a high esteem that they send messages to him through those in the hierarchy. He receives all praise for how the orchestra sounds, yet he does not perform and instrument at the concert. I think it is important to acknowledge all that are part of the larger picture. Especially if they are all working towards a common goal. The results tend to have a better outcome. When people are acknowledge, they tend to have a personal stake in the goal and perform better.

YES! It happens too often though. People want the individual attention! I always try to go back and ask what other teachers did this awesome student graduating have prior to my class? Everyone should feel motivated and part of the whole.
Working with mostly women at most schools can cause chaos. If we all think like this, it would be a much better place.
