Become an Effective Software Engineering Manager: How to Be the Leader Your Development Team Needs Paperback – 29 June 2020

I can't imagine reading a book like someone talking to me directly and addressing my pain points precisely. Coming from technology background, I was struggling to understand the scope and role of ideal engineering manager is. This book addresses exactly that gap. Every aspiring technology leader should read this book atleast once in your career.

If you are new manager, already doing it for some time or even long time manager - take the book and read it. This is the book you can read chapter by chapter when needed. I found ir very helpful when I started and also found multiple times it very useful when was going through difficult situations. Book is very practical and with almost zero bullshit. Very recommended.

Livro novo, mas chegou com amassados profundos na lombada, orelha na parte inferior das páginas e uma mancha preta na parte superior da capa. Provavelmente causado pelo transporte pois estava solto dentro do pacote.

Very relevant content for managers of all levels.

One of my favorite parts of the book is the chapter about managing yourself, as a manager you'll want to "delegate" many tasks, but if you do not know how to manage yourself will be a really difficult task.In general, this book can help you to understand what to expect from your day to day as an IT manager, and also gives you some tasks to start doing it properly.

I read it 2 years ago, but I decided to make a review now after using parts of the content.Personally I think it is a good introduction for an Engineering Manager.The problem is that you won't be able to understand some of the dynamics present in an organizations just using this book.You'll need some tools not presented in this book that could allow you to think about things not using only your mind. One tools for example could be System Thinking.Anyway, if you just started and you want to understand how to organize your life as a new manager, this could be the book for you.
