Tom Sachs does have a reputation for being a dictator, but that attitude has led to fascinating work that can't be put together without the close collaboration of a big team (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm3M9v3vS0I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm3M9v3vS0I). Remember, it's typical for famous artists to work with assistants who are not credited (e.g. Damien Hirst's spot painters https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-news/9010657/Damien-Hirst-assistants-make-my-spot-paintings-but-my-heart-is-in-them-all.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-news/9010657/Dam...). Sach's team is front and center in a lot of his work. I confess I have his ten bullets on my wall because I think it helps me be a good contributor to my team. I think you can boil it down even further to Brancusi's 3 bullets: "create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave".
