What Actually Changes When You Become a Lead · Lesson
The Job Changes, Even If the Title Change Is Small
Objective
Recognize that becoming a lead changes what success is measured by, even if the title feels small.
A small title, a completely different job
"Tech lead" or "engineering manager" can sound like a small step up from senior engineer, but the actual job changes completely: success is no longer measured by what you personally shipped, but by what the team around you shipped, how healthy that team is, and whether people are growing.
The most common reason new leads struggle
Treating it as the same job with a new title is the single most common reason new leads struggle in their first months.
