Ask HN: What has helped you transitioning from a technical to a team lead role?

Hello everybody, About 4 months ago I got the opportunity to become the so called team lead of our dev team… and this is something I really underestimated :D Previously I was (and still am in the team) a full stack developer with strengths on the technical side as well as very good problem understanding and solving skills. After the previous months I more and More understood that in my role I have to manage a team, talk more with stakeholders and getting more involved into “politics”, which is not something I’ve did previously very much. I know that I have to improve my communication skills, getting better in understanding how I can protect my team and how to lead my team to get out of disruptions or things that are impacting our team, but sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed. It is definitely a challenge, but one that I want to grow on. Thereby I am asking: Has someone of you being in a similar position and what helped you to become the team lead that you wanted to have? Were there useful resources, books, programs that taught you valuable skills for this kind of role? Thank you :)
