In his excellent book E-Myth Mastery, author Michael Gerber makes some excellent points about leadership. He makes it very clear that an entrepreneuer must lead his or her company. Leading is much different from managing and I also learned that from Marcus Buckingham in his book First Break All the Rules.
Part of being a leader is simply understanding that you are one. You may not need to say so but you need to lead. Leadership is critical to the success of any organization and good leadership must develop over time.
It is difficult to break away to your own company and become a leader. The natural tendency for a new entrepreneuer is to start a business and take care of all of the details and keep on being a technician. To be successful, a good entrepreneuer must lead.
