Congratulations on becoming the lead. You already got some excellent advise in this thread. I found some good advice about managing and leading teams in books: "The Wisdom of Teams: Creating the High-Performance Organization" by Jon R. Katzenbach, Douglas K. Smith "Leading at the Edge : Leadership Lessons from the Extraordinary Saga of Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition" by Dennis N. T. Perkins, Margaret P. Holtman, Paul R. Kessler, Catherine McCarthy. Few suggestions from personal experiences: About not delegating, getting your hands dirty can play to your benefit if positioned right as trying to understand what team members goes through in their activities so that you can make better decisions that are in best interests of team members. Consider your team lead role as mentoring role and not as a "manager" role. Allow people to make mistakes and do lesson learnt type sessions. Depending on the size of team, have lunch/ informal gathering as a team and also meet with individual team members informally at regular basis. Watch patterns and signs in how team behaves around you. If they are quiet around you or always agreeing with you, you have a problem.
