First of all, being a lead is not you in competition with your juniors. Everyone of us have different experiences and different starting points.

IMO It is helpful to remove the "senior" or "junior" title when working with them.

Work with them. Provide guidance when needed. Learn from them. Trust them. Consider their opinions. Help them provide you with information on things you are not familiar with. Praise their accomplishments in public. Critisize mistakes in private. Provide useful feedback

Have fun :)

Thank you.I agree on what you said I am actually following some of the ideas.I am not ashamed to learn from them. The real problem comes when it to clients or a third party who try to compare my overall experience with those less experienced and expect more

The fact that you say "I am not ashamed to learn from them" says you are always conscious of the fact about you not knowing more than every one else. I feel this seems to be problem with culture being frosted in your organization.

Team / Dev Lead does not mean you need to know every bit of code being written rather concentrate on bigger picture. You need to lead by providing guidance and make sure you are not trying to micro-manage people which may be landing you to compete with your team members. All projects have leads but there are developers who are very good in their work, the more you give credit to their work, the more you become trusted and lead status otherwise you will only be competing with your team members.

Well said. Its very rare people recognize the 'culture' impact in working environments
