@tilton haha yay! Welcome to leadership. My rough benchmark is to try to keep my work week to "only half" meetings and coordinative activities. 50% is the absolute lowest I could ever get that ratio at any of my tech lead jobs, and it was usually worse than that. I have to frequently remind myself that empowering others is my real job. Making myself productive at their expense (say, to lay a foundation or show the way) is sometimes the right thing, but usually not.
