  1. IME success as a lead is largely dictated by the org and its culture. Some orgs just want an official 'face' at the meetings to represent the team, so you get a bit more paperwork and a couple chores. Some orgs are looking for a scapegoat or a miracle and you'll likely fill one of those 2 roles perfectly! It's a pretty different skillset and i'm not convinced SWEs are best positioned for the transition. You can't just push the He-Man button and come out the other side of a weekend bender w/working code (i.e. success) anymore. Good bye actionable error messages, hello politics and spin!
