    Set up 1on1s with your team. Weekly or biweekly, depending on level and team size.

    The other, most important task is to delegate. Learn how to identify when you should step back and let your team solve a problem. Lead from the front, but start to learn how to effectively delegate. This is the thing I’ve seen many others struggle with as they get promoted.

    You are no longer a dev. You are now your team. Your future success depends on not only your own performance, but your whole team.
