My strongest recommendation is to beware of internal power struggles. Even if you are fully understood to be in charge, if everyone under you is in a state of emotional mutiny, you WILL become compromised, and you WILL make mistakes, and those mistakes WILL be used to justify further emotional mutiny. This will spiral until you lose everything.
Moreso, some percentage of your trusted minions WILL undergo emotional mutiny. They will discover that they’d rather be somewhere else, doing something else. They’ll discover that there are people other than you they’d like in charge of their lives. They will discover that they don’t trust you as much as they thought they did. Even if you pick the best people—hell, ESPECIALLY if you pick the best people, because the best people will have other people vying for their attention, seeking to undermine you from without.
I have tried similar things.
