One piece is probably relevant in war but not as much in tech companies: > Good leaders don't make excuses, they find a way to win In war, if you lose a battle people on your team die. In tech, if you lose you hopefully learned a valuable lesson you can take into the next battle. All you lost was money (and runway probably). Granted, the industry's obsession with "failure is good" may be taken a little bit too far sometimes. You have to win at least part of the time or you go out of business.
