It's rewarding to share your vision with your team and have them motivated when they understand the big picture, even better, advocating for the business in front of customers.
Don't see the dynamics of their market, their product, their technology (...) to anticipate and adjust very quickly the strategy.
* Be lean until you get an MVP and see market traction for your solution or product
* Your network is your net value - build relationships including though-leadership techniques
* Your first team members will define your core culture. They would also inspire confidence for the next hires or investors. You need A-level!
