Felipe da Silva Rezende:
O livro aborda toda a trajetória de um líder até se tornar CTO, mas não em um viés romantizado e sim na dura realidade vivida da autora. O foco é na indústria de desenvolvimento de software, mas tem muita coisa que pode ser tirada para qualquer líder iniciante.

I wish that I had read this book before entering management, I may have made a different decision. That’s not to say you can’t be a good leader of technical people without having read this, but rather, I am greatly impressed by the authors broad vision of important traits and skills to at least be aware of, if not master as one leaves a pure, technical realm, and enters into management.
The author starts by focusing on the technical or team lead roles, paying close attention to mentorship and some of those challenging interpersonal communication issues as the book progresses. The author talks about how at a higher management level, a focus on processes and culture and leading a team or a team of teams or entire division are the natural progression points.

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 one of those book which took a lot of time for me to complete, and the reason was the level of detailing it has, I call that meat in it. It surely gives a great insight on all the engineering levels with really nice examples. I would surely recommend this book to engineering leaders.

Not a bad book. My favorite part is on pages 40-42 where the author explains the imaginary vs. real life of an individual contributor vs. manager. Other things I liked are e.g., tips like developing some redundancy so that no one is indispensible and that when you get into the big leagues you might need to reach out to someone externally for coaching - you no longer have a manager, you have a boss. I mostly learnt (and still learning) much of the advice in the book through practice rather than formal training or education. I take off one star from the book because its mostly 101 and skips the really difficult parts of management much of which I think has to be learnt from coaching and experience. It does not skip them entirely but IMO lacks better coverage and explanation through specific real-world examples.
* How to handle disagreements and conflict? The answer to this varies depending upon who you are dealing with in the organization.
* How to handle insubordination or someone undermining you?
* How to handle non-performing individuals and teams?
Often management has two sides - the one that is taught in books etc. and the one that...

Good stuff. Most of it is common sense, but it’s a really good recap because of that. The author defines pitfalls and how to improve and this is super interesting. Seeing the differences between manager and senior manager was super interesting for my future career.

I am an experienced technology executive and consultant for engineering managers and execs. Based on my experience, this book is now the best book you can buy to learn modern engineering management.
Previous contenders have included Peopleware, High-Output Management, The Mythical Man-Month, Good To Great, and others you've probably heard of. They are fine books, but they are either somewhat out of date, overly general, or a combination of both. This book is different. Fournier's book is a comprehensive overview of all the roles on the career path of modern technical management (starting from "senior engineer mentoring an intern" all the way up to CTO) and how to deal with the challenges at every step of the way.
What sets this book apart, other than being comprehensive, is that it is the product of direct and highly relevant experience. Fournier has worked at huge companies, small startups, and medium-sized companies, all in hyper-competitive industry settings. You've probably read other management books and it always goes like this: they give you a piece of general advice about how to deal with an issue. You try it (assuming it is even...
