Load management is all around us - from restaurants handling the lunch rush to cloud systems balancing millions of requests. Mike Haken’s latest Builders' Library article shows how the principles never change: detect early, adapt quickly, degrade gracefully. aws.amazon.com/builders-lib...

3️⃣ Establish boundaries with empathy. Transitioning in the same team means that dynamics change and people will view you as their manager, not their peer. Know that this is fine and normal. Meet it with empathy, listen and learn more intently to hear the underlying problems people bring to you.
2️⃣ Follow through on things you promised, with little to no delay. This is crucial for building trust with your teammates, and signals to them that you have got their back if things need to be fixed.
1️⃣ Brought the team together, and made it clear what I was going to help them with as their team lead. My first message was: you are all talented and hired to do your expertise. I won't tell you how to do it, but I am there if you run into anything that you can't solve.
A long time ago, I transitioned from being an individual contributor to team lead for the same team. Here's a few things I did when this happened:
Inspired by trying out some GenAI things, I wanted to see if I could create an easy workflow for myself using Transcribe and PartyRock to create show notes easily. I wrote a small blog on how you can optimize your show notes creation: https://buff.ly/3V1xWih
No, had the same thing. It just garbles up the audio @bsky.app

🌱 Challenge yourself: next time in a meeting with multiple people, take a breather, count to 5 when you want to jump in and don't do it. You will be surprised what you can discover!
Are you going to try it?
⭐️ You let others shine and speak their mind, giving trust and space to them in the process.
⭐️ You give yourself time and space to process information and respond accordingly.
⭐️ Listening requires you to not speak. When you don't speak you notice layers in the conversation that you wouldn't when you are talking.
And it's actually not about being passive or not contributing. It's about listening and observing. Here's why I do it:
🤔 You know that feeling, when you are in a meeting and everybody is getting there say in, but nobody is really listening? What if I told you that staying quiet is a superpower?
Staying out of it is a skill that anybody that has seen me in one-to-many settings will see me do.
