Take responsibility like a driving instructor

A technical lead is actually a bit like a driving instructor. They cannot drive the car for the engineers under them, which would be micromanagement, but they also cannot fall asleep in the back seat, which would be neglect.

They need to sit in the passenger seat with a secondary brake under their foot. Most of the time, they let team members explore, make mistakes, and grow on their own. But at the critical moment when the car is about to hit a wall, they must step on the brake decisively. That is the real sense of ownership. Many managers either do not trust others and want to control everything themselves, or they shift blame to subordinates when something goes wrong, saying, “I already told them.”

This logic is especially important in modern technical management. As we hand more and more work to intelligent systems and automation tools, humans are still the instructor sitting in the passenger seat. When the system makes a mistake, you cannot blame the system, because you are the person with final authority and control. This extreme responsibility for outcomes is the threshold between a senior engineer and a top-level expert.
