Just a thought. This book often throws me off because I lack any bit of a musical background. This chapter kept mentioning "chairs" and their order. I just wasn't getting it so finally I had to ask my friend who was in band forever and now it all makes sense.
Anyways, the idea is that very often we discount people because they are in a lower position than us. On the flip side, we often won't lead, if it is not in our job description. Ok, I'm using "we" a lot but really I am talking about myself. I know I am one of those people that is a natural follower. I have ideas but I am shy so I only give my idea, if people deem me the leader or it is really necessary, both of which freak me out. This chapter speaks to me. Often, I am guilty of taking people for their label. For some reason though, I don't do it with sports. I tend to trust people on the field, just not in real life. It shouldn't matter what your label is. If you are the CEO of a company, good job, but you still need to listen to your employees and take their ideas seriously. If you are the lowest employee and you have a great thought, tell someone. Don't hold back because you really don't count on the list of employees.
Even pig and duck give their opinion and they are just guides
