The take home from the analogy is to follow a process where delegation and hierarchy is key for efficiency. This benefits all kinds of work. Delegation or setting the right roles in a team (where possible, or making it happen) is better than half-assing or trying to do everything. I don't think there's anything admirable in being unavailable or losing opportunities to complete work due to inefficiencies that can be avoided with a bit more trust distributed throughout a team.
