Team leader's role

I have been working as a team leader's role for months. It is the second time of being team leader in my career although the first time only continued for two months before I left the company. It is totally different with being a software engineer. Personally I think the main difference is that as a software engineer I try my best to finish my task on the schedule while as a team leader I try my best to make my team members finish their tasks and then make the team's schedule. 'Make' means properly assigning work item, properly estimation of work items, progress checking, removing anything that blocks their development, and adjusting schedule.

Luckily I got support from my software manager, project manager and other team leaders. They share the experience with me and sometimes just point out the improper actions. Many thanks to them. Also our team provides books for learners. One book I am reading is TSP, Leading a Development Team.
