Listening to others

As lead developer part of my role is to ‘know’ the answer to things and to identify solutions to problems. Also part of my role is mentoring other developers on my team, to nurture them and help them grow as developers. Sometimes the two sides of my role would seem to be at odds with each other, on the one hand I’m expected to be the authority and on the other I need to step out of the way to allow others to shine. I have to say that I don’t see it this way, yes I do need to know the answers but I also need to listen to others their answers may well be better than mine. [More]
