8. Successful startups are like small communities. There may be a charismatic figure at the top of the hill, but often each team is open to new ideas and makes decisions quickly to solve problems, agility is almost the opposite of what we consider government programs, but there are so many exceptions to that that need to be emulated .... where small teams have brought out good ideas and been given the opportunitie to develop them as pilot programs.
We need to start volunteer communities around the problems we face, take input from all, have team leads that are dedicated to solutions and not stardom and keep ideas circling around our charismatic leader.
