Comment on Ask HN: What has helped you transitioning from a technical to a team lead role?parent

I concur with this nice write up. Your job is now to get leadership's priorities done, identify what will achieve that goal and steer the team towards it.

My advice would be to establish a good relationship with your stakeholders, understand what they want from the team. You are now the go to person in the company representing your team. You should be always up to date with what's being done work wise by your team. Stakeholders will give you a new point of view of where your team is in the environnement. Use this POV to reflect on the usefulness of work done by your team.

Also, I don't believe a team lead should overprotect it's team, as it blurs' one view and can burn some bridges. Your team can definitly fuck up and you should tell them when they do.
