New Tech Lead - what do I need to know?

Start with Practical Ways to Manage Yourself. That’s the book that helps you decide which actions to take yourself, which to do with the team, and when to let the team do it themselves.

I find this “technical lead” role quite challenging. If you’re a senior member of the team, your job has to be to support the learning of the rest of the team. If you’re a technical-lead-on-the-way-to-manager, you focus even more on supporting the team’s learning and each individual’s learning.

I have the technical lead/management continuum in Practical Ways to Lead and Serve Others.
