> How do you be a leader focus less on the lead/follow(or get out of the way) dichotomy and more on how to add value? think less of commanding troops in a battle against competitors or market forces, and envision yourself more like a bridge between your team and your customers. in today's environment (as far as i can tell; haven't thought a/b it that much, really), the relationship with customers is about the only thing most startups "own". so you'll want to present yourself as someone who's going to go to bat for the people around you no matter what happens, especially the unexpected, and i thought the story about motorcycles being banned was a really good example of this.
