one of the commenters nailed it - there are people who think these sorts of mind games are "inspirational leadership". some of them do succeed, and it's mostly because they have a really good team who see through them, shrug and decide to make a go of things anyway. the inspirational leadership is seen as merely another obstacle in the way of getting things done, which can be allowed for and worked around.
I'm glad this didn't get any votes. This tripe doesn't belong on HN.
This sounds like the early days of Apple, but with more Jobs and not enough Woz.
Yeah, I can understand the need to crackdown with a team and get them on the move but the dude's ego just shines out of his asshole. The dude needs to realize the difference between cracking down and being pretentious; felt like I was reading a scene from 'The Social Network' for a second.
