You might want to simply look into reading some leadership books. Leadership 101[1] is one you can read in probably an afternoon, to get you started. From there John Maxwell as a few more books on Leadership as well. As I haven't been in a team lead position myself, I'm not sure if any of these books can help you learn how to delegate as that seems something that would take time and practice. I have however, worked under a few engineer-become-leaders that are simply horrible leaders, and I -wish- they would read a book like this some day and have it click. Your success as a leader can possibly be measured with how successful you are at raising leaders under your wing.
