I’m currently a senior developer, but relatively new in the role of a “lead”. In my current project, I’m having a kind of co-lead and we have two devs working in our team. So a rather small enterprise.
Now my boss told me, that going forward, I will probably be leading larger and more complex projects (possible rather soon).
Since I’m constantly doubting myself, I would really like to learn more about how to be an effective/likeable lead. I’ve had too many “leads” who were just dogshit, professionally and as a person. I don’t want to be that (at least the professional part).
So, I guess my question is: what helped you? Books, articles, just random hints or strategies? I’ll take everything.

id check out some of the lower level, free ‘project management’ courses out there. its all about communication and documentation.
assuming youre just a great, helpful team member; the lead will have excellent project management skills.
