Re: Advice for new Technical Lead

There has been a lot of excellent advice given thus far, I don't want to change any of it.
I will add: As tech lead, you will need to guide you team through successes and failures.
Successes are easy, identify what you did right and repeat it (or even improve on it).

Failures are even better. Yes, I did say that and I believe it.
We as humans always seem to learn more through failure than success.
Do this by anylizing the failure and don't repeat it. Figure out what caused it and figure out how to prevent it from happening again. Many times you will find that what you figure out will allow you to improve way more than your original approach would have yielded.
This applies to more than just design, it applies to strategy and game play too.
