This is an excellent question, and has infinite answers.
One resource that I found super helpful in my transition to a more senior position was Talking With Tech Leads by Pat Kua, CTO at N26.
The book consists of interviews with a number of technical leaders from varying industries, experience levels and attitudes. Super easy to read, and full of useful nuggets for anyone interested in technical leadership.
For my part, I want my Tech Lead to enable and elevate me as a developer. I want them to provide me with clear technical vision and push me to grow into a better developer by constantly challenging me. I also want them to be in the code at least 70% of the time. There's nothing worse than technical leadership that isn't familiar with the current state of a codebase.

That book has been a life saver getting me started!
