YUARTHow to become a team/department lead?
Being a team lead is not about using others to implement your vision. You’d be better off founding your own company.
Hi, maybe I choose incorrect words, but under a “vision” I meant “better ways to do my job, better ways to help others to do their job, and better/new ways for company/project be more successful in different business metrics”.
I agree that my own company would be the best case, but that’s easier said than done, unfortunately.
As lower/middle management, you are crushed from both sides. Upper management demands from you what to do, and the people under you hate what you are forced to implement. It’s actually really annoying and difficult. I was department lead and went back to just developing.
