I've recently been promoted to a team lead role in my software engineering department, and I'm looking for practical resources to improve my leadership development. While I'm confident in my technical skills, I'm struggling with things like giving constructive feedback to senior engineers, facilitating productive meetings that don't feel like a waste of time, and delegating tasks effectively without micromanaging. Are there specific books, frameworks, or mentorship approaches that helped you transition from an individual contributor to an effective leader, especially in a technical environment?
