The problem here is that the awesome lead will not stay long in a company where all other people are mediocre. Awesome people want to work with other awesome people. There should be a critical mass of them to keep them from leaving.

Or if you're a startup you give your awesome lead enough equity to have skin in the game, and the authority actually to lead and shape the team.
This is relatively true, but at a small company (< 5 programmers) some people do like the role of "lead" and will stay with it as long as the people they work with aren't total idiots.
