Covers the transition from senior developer to tech lead by focusing on people skills rather than code, drawing on the speaker’s ThoughtWorks experience and coaching of 300+ tech leads. Explains why many technical issues are actually people problems, presents three mindset shifts and seven concrete soft skills (delegation, conflict resolution, team alignment, etc.), and gives practical steps to begin developing those leadership abilities.
