Have you ever wondered what makes a great tech lead? You might think that you only have to be good at what you are doing, but that is far from what makes an excellent tech lead. 

Most of the time, tech leads ignore the importance of soft skills. Those skills define if you are just a person who solves a technical problem for your people or their mentor. You want to be their mentor because that’s how you both grow. 

Here are some skills I can help you with to become a new or better tech lead:

• Better communication so you can give clear guidance and mentoring to your team
• Presentation skills to become a person who can structure any information to be understood by anyone who is listening, not only tech savvy people
• Mentoring skills so you can up skill your team faster
• Hiring – We all want to hire the best people, but for that, the candidate has to like you as much as you like them. Working on your soft skills in interviews will help you become a better interviewer.
