Comment on Ask HN: How to move from dev role to management/team lead role?parent

Comments

Got news for you. Being a good leader or manager doesn’t come natural to anyone out of the gate. Sure some people have certain advantageous traits, but they probably aren’t what you think they are. For instance, you might assume charisma and confidence are important, but they can backfire and leave your reputation in tatters if you don’t have a high level of foundational knowledge and experience-honed judgement. The actual ingredients to a leadership personality are more subtle and something a young person is often ill-equipped to judge in themselves. Don’t box people in.
