Building off that, if you follow the simple rule of "Pointy Things are Bad", and you apply it to your team structure, it works wonders. Having a Grand Puba at the top of an organizational structure is:
1) Not efficient
2) Not fair to everyone else on the team that puts in a similar amount of work
3) There is also a lack of accountability to make sure they do their assigned job.
Create a checks and balances system that makes it a fairer, happier and more productive workplace.
Just remember, rookie teams have some of the best captains, and typically nobody on those teams have any experience.
