While recognizing the completely different context, I'd approach it like organized sports management/coaching. There you have disparate members with similar skillsets but different roles that as a whole contribute to one thing: winning. Trust, respect, belief in each other's abilities, and most of all, pushing HARD to accomplish a shared goal and vision. You have a captain who plays, a coach who is trusted completely, and different roles that are recognized as indispensable yet won't work without the others playing their part.

Of course not everyone wants to be pushed this hard, wants to be part of something like this, and is paid enough to take the obvious abuse. It's just something nice to fantasize about.
