2. Always shoot first. Every good leader should be willing to do what he or she asks of her team. One of the reasons for the loyalty of the ragtag crew of Serenity, the ship Malcolm Reynolds captains in Firefly, is that Mal will throw himself into battle to protect his team. Whenever he has a crazy scheme or rescue mission in mind, he takes the first plunge. Lesson learned? Show your crew that you're willing to take a bullet for them, and they'll do the same for you.

LOL! Good bit of advice, no matter what kind of freighter you fly, 500 years in the future or a long time ago in a GFFA. *runs to read the rest....sounds mighty inspirational*

Rant and rave
That he aims
To misbehave
Follow him

More importantly, and more commonly in Mal's case,
show that you're willing to give a bullet , or even many, for them...
