From the article, which I find to be a nice read, this part particularly rings true to me: "Pick team leaders wisely. A team leader is not an average developer with secretary duties no one else wants to carry out.

A team leader promotes technical excellence, spreads optimism, mentors people, and gives away the most interesting tasks to others."
