summary

Maps common tech‑lead failures to concrete fixes: shows a content API team chased a two‑month launch that promised a 20% signup lift, where a new lead imposes performance test driven development and LoadRunner over the team's JMeter work, and a sluggish SQL query turns out to be the culprit. Labels anti‑patterns (the mole, dictator, hero, ivory‑tower, outsider), then gives specific remedies: pairing, one‑on‑ones, feature leads, GROW coaching, mentoring and keeping time in the code while guiding vision.
