Great answer. I transitioned to a lead role recently, on a small but growing engineering team.
Agree about being conservative on estimates, trading off code quality. I did jump in and code during a stressful situation, not ideal.
Any tips about how to report to higher management? And how to tell if things are going well/bad on the team, esp in a startup? |

For your manager, you should have (or try to force) at least meetings every 2-4 weeks where you can ask what you can improve on or what they feel is missing/lacking in your team/department. Always come back next meeting with ways you have improved or reacted to their comments. If they are a decent boss they will always be honest with you.
As for how to tell if things are going well internally...
- does your team(s) feel happy/proud on what they delivered? - does your team(s) seem happy and enjoy working with each other? - do they focus on deliverables/value and not get caught up on petty issues?
are some questions to ask.
