Being a leader at a startup is not easy and isn't for everybody.

You have to be open to wearing multiple hats and

work your ass off with very little resources

and take responsibility when things go wrong and

give credit to others on the team when things go well.

But it IS very rewarding to be directly contributing to the trajectory of a company rather than being a cog in the wheel at a big company.

What are other indicators that somebody isn't a good fit for leadership at a startup?
