Your job is now to manage, not engineer. Learn leadership, or if you want to keep coding, change jobs.

Very blunt, I appreciate that. Though, engineering leadership is certainly different than other types of leadership. Managing through example was my current way of working. I'd be collaborating with engineers, and try to coach them when I could, or sponsor them when I couldn't (provide with either internal or external coaching).

I didn't mention that I'm coding in my initial post, and the reality is that I currently don't code at my job. So while I appreciate your answer, it doesn't really apply to my case, or my question.
