It depends on the team, the projects, the phase of the projects and the weather forecast. To me this "staff" stuff just means doing more of whatever it takes while making sure the other engineers learn and grow, not doing everything yourself just because you're able to.
Sometimes it means plowing into code and implementing stuff, because that's the main thrust at the time and where the most effort needs to be focused. Sometimes it means backing away and researching problems at a high level to save others from having to get out of focus.
Whether that's team leading or engineering or managering is a moot point to me.
