After years of coding, switching to leadership feels like walking a tightrope. I want to stay hands-on but not in the way. Where’s the line between “helping” and “interfering”? How did you find your balance between being technically involved and leading effectively? I’d love to learn how others stay connected to code without losing leadership focus.

Switching between coding and managing a team can feel like juggling flaming torches. One moment you’re deep in code, the next you’re in meetings, making decisions and guiding your team. Finding balance is tricky — too much coding and you neglect leadership, too much management and you lose technical touch. It’s like walking a tightrope, but mastering it brings both satisfaction and respect from your team.
