MSB called the entire team in for a meeting the other day and explained to us the she has a "special skill" that none of us have and we are not supporting her special skill enough to satisfy her. This skill, according to her, is that she can call anyone in any company at any time and talk to that person. I will grant that she can do this for many companies.
The problem is that when you cannot effectively deal with people or cause them to enter into business transactions with you, these calls are fruitless. Especially when you, at least once per month, end up yelling at one of your potential clients on the phone and telling them that they are too stupid to understand the value you provide them (yes, this has really happened).
The jist of the meeting was the same as every other - that she could be so much more successful if only the rest of the team would help her more. Once you have run this meeting more than twice, you have failed either as a manager, a team member, or both.
