Herring very neatly describes the role of the TL in the diagram below.
Herring (2007)
Herring, Purcell and Lamb’s descriptions all can be adapted to fit neatly into this diagram however Valanza’s description for the role of the TL is looking further into the future. She describes emerging practice and lists an extensive role description for a TL. I was quite daunted by the enormous list of skills/roles the TL must have until on further consideration I think that Valenza’s list can be achieved over the entire career of a TL.
