Leadership / Management - Points to ponder - Taare Zameen Par

Started watching this movie over a nice weekend morning after a good breakfast and started pondering over various things around me. Family, Job and environment. The biggest point that kept wandering around was, how do I relate all this to team work.

Teacher / parents in the movie =~ Manager / Lead of the team
Ishanth Avasthi =~ team members who aren't star performers but have better abilities
Ishanth's Brother =~ A top performer from parents perspective
Other Students =~ Average to above average performers.

The easiset thing that "Manager / Lead" does is what the teachers do in the movie. Praise the accomplishments of Brother (Top performers) and start yelling at a person with different skillsets (This happens almost in every team, every school... Just the form of this varies). But, isn't it the responsibility of the "Lead" to handle each team member differently to reap the diverse skills of the team. Every team member is "star" in some way or the other. Aren't they putting benchmarks of performance / character for selfish (call it marks / ranks /seats / releases / products / personal) goals?

Then comes the appraisal part, Should a managers appraisal be as good as the least performer of the team. Isn't Individual Development Plan necessary for every employee in his or her own way rather than just the top performers??

After this comes the Hero of this (almost flawlessly executed / edited / screened) film who sensitizes people (stakeholders, parents / teachers..) to their deficiency of handling people with special skills.

Hope this mindset comes into every manager / leader and they boost the best trait of each of the team member to have a great team at the end, rather than trying to pamper just some (so called stars) in the team and there by discriminating people on (so called) performance grounds.

Some Co.'s also maintain a "forced" performance rating where some team members are "forced" to be underperformers using all these means.
