What makes for a good architect/manager/lead developer?

I am the Lead Developer for a small software company. Over the past two years, my team has grown from one developer (me) to a group of about nine people. Most of us are very capable, senior engineers (20+ years of experience building software per person), so very little hand-holding is generally necessary. We use Scrum to manage our efforts, and we usually get a lot done quickly with minimal written requirements.
