its' like a family where you enjoy when the whole family is doing great You have to think about each and everyone on the team while keeping the healthy competition. Identify the people's interests and feed them type of challenges e.g. someone like debugging for those weird things or someone doing research and coming up with the ideas Lead with the examples Try to connect with them off the works (depending on the country/location) Bring up the difficult discussion as early as possible, don't avoid them at any cost Train more leaders as you're trying to finish your job Take ownership and delegate

agreed. Being an IC with less stress and getting similar compensation while enjoying the architectural work seems more lucrative

For me, the most challenging part was doing performance evaluations among different engineers where some was doing really amazing stuff but they weren't good at selling while others weren't doing anything impressive but selling it very smartly. Being manager, doing code reviews, going through ticket managers and other tools you can see this who is what and how much but you can barely influence 360 reviews.

On another occasion, it really got out of hands, when I was working on totally independent team and my people working on so many different teams. Being the guys, you gotta know ins/outs of all these projects going on while not loosing track of yours

I worked for a company where a lot of ICs were also assigned reportes but they weren't doing full time management. They were just interacting with their coach/mentor, doing weekly meetings and stuff. I believe transition from developer to Lead to Manager is smooth than becoming manager and getting away from coding and doing mgmt just overnight.

same here except the coding part. I am good at coding but nothing else. Always start something but leave it half way through

In my personal opinion, it's more centered around technology folks
Develop different financial products and provide business intelligence. Software Development manager with 4 direct reports in 3 sparsely geo-located engineering team.

It is OK as long as I am earning enough to have good life.

I love to develop products that are being utilized by common people and it improves their lifestyle.

with freedom comes great responsibility
