It appears that you seem to be using some other definition. It sounds to me like you're conflating "boss" with "mentor". If that's the case, then I agree that mentorship is absolutely part of the team lead role, however the term "boss" does not convey that meaning. | |

Any lead who doesn't act as a boss is doing his or her team a disservice. Yes, you may have to work with your manager to deal with a performance problem, but mentoring is ALWAYS part of a team leads job. It is one of the most critical parts. | |
