To borrow from one of Drucker's successors, "Servant Leadership".
This is interesting as an academic exercise, still a work in progress as a dramatic one. Other than Asano the players are pretty much all ciphers and it wasn't until the second part of the second episode that things got somewhat interesting in terms of plot. Minami did make the correct call when she figured out that the boys are actually the customers. Now she's realizing that the coach is an expert, but he's not a leader - so she has to step up and take on that role.
