A pratical Guide for Tech Leaders

5 estrellas

The book is divided into chapters for different management roles. Every chapter describes in a practical and pragmatic way the challenges that come with a role. Unfortunately some generic information about assessment, conflict handling, and culture is hidden in mutliple chapters. Therefore is it not enough to read a few chapters for your actual situation to get the whole picture. You have to get through every chapter to extract important information that is applicable to all management roles.

Review of "The Manager's Path" on 'Goodreads'

3 estrellas

I liked it (that's what the 3 stars rating means :-p ).

Some very good insights, advice and hints.

Also, many things missing from my point of view (missing much more XP), and some "wrong" approaches (I would say "too American/competitive/individualistic" approach sometimes, and other times too "mainstream", like assuming traditional estimations, too much focus on the 1on1s versus open team retrospectives, etc.).

It would have been nice to use a gender-neutral "they" in a consistent way, instead of jumping from "he" to "she" continuously, sometimes it was confusing to me.
