I would agree with that.
I would also add that when you are the leader, be a good leader. When you are not, be a good follower. Too many people are spotlight Rangers.
Unless you have an insurmountable task with an impossible time limit, take a little time at the beginning to do some analysis, planning, and to conduct Troop Leading Procedures. You might solicit input from others, but ultimately, this is a military unit, not a democracy, and as a leader, failure is always your responsibility. Having trusted members to brainstorm with is always a plus. By the time you have been together in training for more than a few days, you should have learned who you can rely on.
While you are planning, everyone should be doing something to prepare for the mission.
When it is a task you have done before (or there are familiar sub-tasks), you can shortcut some of the planning steps.
Just don't overanalyze it and lock up with performance anxiety, refusing to make a decision.
Good luck, do the best you can.
