How to become a team/department lead? (feddit.org)

Hi,

How can I become a team/department lead? I guess I'm starting to feel tired of having a vision and not being able to implement it because I have 0 political power in a company.

I thought that the easiest way was to join a startup as the first person of a "department" in a company, but now I'm not sure how it's possible to get hired to a startup on the early stage.

A good boss won't have problems with that - they are always looking for their next position anyway and having a replacement ready to go is good - if you can't be replaced you can't be promoted. A good boss will help your get involved with the politics needed to be good at this. A good boss will put your name up for leads in a different department where there is an opening that you wouldn't even know about.

Note that I said good boss above. Not all bosses are good.
