I agree with the sentiment here around leaning into mentoring/teaching. Watching videos of myself teaching others and iterating on it has been one of the best things to happen to my communication (and thus teamwork) skills. Hearing you say things like: > Nowadays people just accept whatever I say as the best way. > I catch myself becoming more controlling because at this point about 80% of the code base is my code for the applications my team is responsible for. > The thought of "great, one more thing I got to fix" is coming up too frequently. makes me wonder if you might benefit from reading organizational books like Turn the Ship Around? You seem to be getting to the point where cultivating leadership throughout your organization might be the best way for you to affect change, and with the right mental models you can often do that with slight nudges or answering questions differently.
