A senior IC who is a technical lead or area lead can do the same without formally leading anyone.
I know of quite a few teams where there is a high level manager and an equal level IC who report to the same director. They're both responsible for the same scope of work, (and this is oversimplifying) just one is responsible for the tech and one for the people.

My contributions are 50% personal, 50% "team acceleration" (ie: ensure your teammates are able to get things done quicker including pairing, code walkthroughs, documentation, last minute team changes to ensure a project succeeds)
