The Manager`s Path

I have been leading people for a decade without having the title and now I'm working to move to the management area.As I got the recommendation about this book from a CTO, I just read it from the cover to the cover. And it's really good. With a lot of examples how to become a better manager. These examples made my It's coming with details and advises that will definitely help you to be a better version of yourself.It should not be the only book to read for sure, but it's a good start to develop until you become the version of yourself that you are looking for.

Fui recentemente promovida a Tech Lead e foi-me recomendado este livro.Tenho a dizer que tem sido bastante útil a sua leitura para me ajudar a adaptar melhor a este cargo.Gostava de ter lido isto antes, por isso mesmo que ainda não sejam Tech Leads, vale a pena lerem.

This is an incredible book, and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is at all interested in technical leadership at any level.It focuses very specifically on the challenges of combining technical focus with leadership and/ or management, and steps through roles from hands-on development, through mentoring, tech lead and various levels of engineering manager all the way up to CTO. Along the way, it gives a realistic and well-thought-out sense of what these roles are (and are not), how they differ from lower roles and from subtly different roles at a similar level, and how to succeed at them.The most interesting thing I took from it though was that the understanding you can gain about the hierarchy of technical leadership roles is useful at all levels, including what we would call "individual contributor" roles (i.e. doing technical work with no direct reports). Engineers at a relatively early stage in their careers can benefit from the first few chapters, which cover what to expect from your own manager, how to start mentoring and how to consider whether long-term you are more interested in management or technical tracks. Equally, having done some low-level management over the last couple of years and now seeking to return to more of a senior technical/ architecture role, I still found the later chapters (about senior tech management roles) fascinating, because I know that even if I never take on those exact roles, understanding the responsibilities and thought processes of those who have them will make me much more effective in working with them and advancing my own ideas.

Delivered amazingly fast, a few chapters in impression is that it's an awesome read and provides lots of insights into the Manager's path.

Llegó bien y a tiempo. El libro es muy bueno y contiene consejos muy útiles para trabajar mejor o para tomar decisiones con subalternos difíciles. Definitivamente lo recomiendo para los que quieran aprender cómo mejorar su equipo o aspiren a manejar uno.
