Be aware that this works only because you were technical lead of the project and recently active in a hands on capacity. It will likely fail you once you are on a new project that you don't know technically and your skills are years out of date. So learn to find, trust and nurture the experts on your team instead.

We're no google but I have lead the software department on techical decisions and scaling for the past 3 years as the company/startup tripled in growth. We are a tiny power rangers sized team, I probably just have angst in my comment as there is one particular employee who was recently hired before me stepping on that goes left when I "and everyone else on the team" says go right.
