Thank you for sharing Nuno, these are all great practices I appreciate in a team lead. Sometimes I think the industry gets "management" and "leadership" all mixed up. Leadership is more than shuffling people around and making sure they get their work done on time. Leaders inspire people to follow them and inspire people to want to do more for the benefit of the whole. A lot of your points really aspire to that goal and I thank you for pointing them out. I have seen some good talks on leadership you might want to watch if you haven't already done so.
