I got promoted into a team lead once - I told my employer I wasn&#x27;t ready, and he told me I was underestimating myself. I took advice and decided to give it a shot. I hired some great people to join the team. We finished the product in time for the deadline but everyone was spent, and people left, because I didn&#x27;t have the management skills to know when people wanted a mentor so they can learn, when people weren&#x27;t performing and should have been warned, when people needed a raise, etc. And so the team weren&#x27;t happy because of those things. Long story short, the job was too hard, and we hired an experienced person to perform the role instead, and I get to go back to my old role. :)
