Don’t take the lead. Not until you are quite ready.
Don’t smash your cohorts. Not unless you can make them better.
The way that most technological organizations suceed is through letting each involved person prove themselves. When someone starts to take command and to tell others what to do, the group starts to fall apart.
Don’t take command but listen to what others are saying. Always spend line on what they are expounding.
Which, by the way, is the main methodology to technical writing. You need to do it from the start.
