# Supervisor / Team Lead

> The main session coordinates exclusively while teammates implement.

The main session focuses exclusively on coordination while teammates do the implementation.

**How it works:**

1. Enable [delegate mode](../agent-teams#delegate-mode-is-essential) so the lead can only coordinate
2. The lead creates tasks, monitors progress, and redirects approaches that aren't working
3. Teammates implement, report back, and the lead synthesizes

**Best for:** complex multi-component features where someone needs to maintain the big picture.

<Warning>Without delegate mode, the lead frequently implements tasks itself instead of delegating. This is the most common Agent Teams failure mode.</Warning>

**Sweet spot:** 3-5 teammates. Fewer underutilizes parallelism; more creates coordination overhead that exceeds the throughput gain.
