Being a team leader some times sucks have to take responsibility for everyone's elses functionality that doesn't work or wasn't tested in production. Leads often ends up working overtime fixing everyone elses work :(

For realz, if you don't have firing rights...as long as your opinion counts as much as like 80% with whoever does you're good. build a team. doesn't have to be stellar or anything...just a quality team. if the slack mf's don't adapt in your timely manner too damn bad
