Mr X was amazing. He single handedly made a very profitable customer from a very profitable class of customers extrordinarily happy. So Mr X was given an army of minions to do his bidding to do that same for the whole class of customers. But Mr X wasn't happy, in fact it made him sad, because Mr X loved doing what he was good at, not managing an army of minions. So they hired a manager for Mr X. Now, armed with an army of minions and a manager of his own, Mr X was free to do what he loved, and nudge the direction of his minions, rather than managing them.
You need an army of minions *and* a manager who dotted line reports to you :)
