Processes: I had a lot of input to process (and wrote a few,) but I didn't "own" them. What was more important was clearly communicating what the process needed to be, and why. Then the managers held people accountable for following the process.
Managing people: I didn't handle things like discipline, interpersonal disputes, pay, performance reviews.
Mentoring / coaching: This was mostly of a technical nature. I helped other developers become stronger developers and worked on techniques to help them move through their work more effectively.
