This is an important reason to decentralize our leadership. Feds don't have the same jackpot of compromising a key player if it's just one role that they are dominant in, rather than ALL the roles.
The basket in the analogy is a "leader". If you rely on one "leader" (whatever that word even means lol) for all roles of authority, they're not going to specialize, you'll lack redundancy, and you unintentionally end up with a class division again around who is a leader and who isn't.
There'a a good reason why multicellular organisms and especially social insects use collective intelligence to make decisions, rather than decision-making all done in one most-important cell/individual who then sends commands to the rest.

You have to have an organization first before the leadership can be decentralized
This is true, but you can found your organization on principles that distribute different spheres of power to different people.
All your stones in one basket doesn't just make that basket a target, it wears out the basket.
We don't even have any baskets yet though
