I naturally take the lead and often end up in a similar situation where I spent a lot of time on leading, instead of tech.

Early this year I joined a new team and expected the same to happen, but there were also a few other people who wanted the lead. I've taken that opportunity to let them. I'm now mainly coaching them and bothering with the team dynamics, without getting too distracted by stakeholder management. I now regularly have days where I'm pretty much fulltime coding! (And headspace to develop new initiatives outside the team; an unexpected benefit/distraction.)

It's always nice when you wind up on a team full of high agency people!
