**Characteristics of a Clevertech Tech Lead, straight from one of our very own:**
* Tact - being able to speak respectfully to everyone at every level, regardless of competence, seniority or accomplishment. There is also a sense of what is appropriate to say or do at a given time. This will build trust with clients and peers.
* Being able to abstract. If you have an abstract understanding of something, you can explain it at all levels and in different contexts, using the experience or role of the audience to inform what metaphors might be used or if they are even necessary.
* Humility - this enables you to take responsibility and set your ego on the shelf when working with other bright people.
