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.

And, if they aren't recognizing you for your efforts, hopefully you're learning the process enough to move on to another company? Sometimes just being able to "speak the language" of that position in an interview is enough to get on the door, even if you're light on actual experience. Many people are doing the jobs of their managers already!
