:boost_requested: Dear Fediverse, I am about to step up into my first role as a tech lead (*context in follow-up post) and would like to ask some questions to help me prepare & improve:

Groups:

  • 🔵 Technical: Devs, DevOps, Infra
  • 🟠 Product: Marketing, UX/Design, etc
  • 🟣 Business: HR, management C-roles.

Questions:

  1. What are your initial thoughts when you hear you'll be getting a new tech lead?
  2. What are your hopes & expectations for them?
  3. What are your concerns when a new "tech lead" is hired?
  4. What changes do you hope for, or expect?

❗ Please add your colour to your reply & poll.

Lastly, if you have other advice for someone who wishes to be the best possible tech lead of their teams.

@iamada 1.will they actually help, or just disrupt things?
2. Hoping they’re competent and not just another manager who talks but doesn’t deliver.
3. Concerned they’ll micromanage, ignore existing workflows, or make things harder for the team.
4. Expecting unnecessary changes, but hoping at least some improvements come out of it.
