Dan Abel - How to Engage with your team (be a Well Rounded Technical Lead, part 1) Takeaway: Your job is to adjust to what the team needs. Ensure Safety - people need to feel safe and trust each other. Faciliate the technical discussions. Teams need a clear goal and direction to move forward as a group. Ensure the team doesn't silo - rotate people around jobs, collaborate heavily. Demonstrate how you want the team to behave - but also allow experienced teams to set their own contract.
