Also I completely get what you're saying. You become a teacher rather than getting the job done, or pushing the boundary.
It honestly depends on where you're working - I've experienced being on both sides. One where you can conceptualise ideas and brainstorm with everyone on the same page vs you having the concept and then having to explain/teach the rest how to implement it.
I would be fine if I was a manager telling folks how to implement it, but I'm not. Randomly 2 months ago I've been getting referred to as a team lead and there was no pay increase or title change. Additionally outside of the people I help, it looks bad that my actual work is going to prod at a slow rate. It'd be different if I ha d a mandate to train folks, but instead i do it outta the kindness of remembering how shitty it was when I was so far off from the solution.
Yeah that's it, been in the same spot.
In fact it's abuse from the employer because you're doing training/management but not being paid in the same category.
Being team lead should be leading people on the same level, not having to carry them along.
