Hello, I've been in your position many years ago, so my 2 cents of hard earned experience.

If your project pipeline has a non-coding architect, they better be your subordinate. If they are not, be prepared to push back on their design decisions. Ideally they should have a stake in the project delivery.

When some estimate, deadline or feature complexity feels off to you, listen to your inner voice and stand your ground. No matter what others, with more seniority/authority/clout in the company think.

Take care of your team. Get rid of slackers, but don't overwork the others.

Accept responsibility for the failures, and share success with the team. "I failed", "we succeeded".
