To succeed in building a big company in the long-term, founders must become good at leading, motivating, and retaining great people. Ali Rowghani, CEO of the YCombinator Continuity Fund, takes from his experience working with great leaders to share his three observations on leadership:

🌻 All leaders are all different. There's no single archetype.

🌻 However, they have three common traits: communication, judgment about people, and integrity and commitment.

🌻The best way to measure great leaders is in terms of the amount of trust they're able to engender in the people who work with them, for them, around them, etc. Trust is the metric for leadership in a 360-degree sense of the word.
