Inspiring the team, maniacal Determination, Resourcefulness, fast rate of learning ( beginners mind ), making the tough decisions fast, seeing the big picture, intuition on seeing the next big thing ( move to where the puck is going to be ) and articulating that vision clearly , incredibly focused execution and most importantly thinking from first principles and keeping their assumptions informed by the ever changing reality and doing a complete 180 at the drop of a hat if the situation merits it.
