Lara Hogan: Resilient Management (Paperback, 2019, A Book Apart, LLC)

Review of 'Resilient Management' on 'Goodreads'

There is a bunch of good practices and hints, very clearly exposed and explained it, with many practical learnings, I liked it :-)

I had to ignore the fact that it uses the Tuckman's model for stages of group development as a backbone for the book... which is... "wrong" :-) The missing star in the rating is because of that, there is too much emphasis on that model.

Blé Jurado, Carlos: Código sostenible (Paperback, Spanish language, Carlos Blé Jurado)

Review of 'Código sostenible' on 'Goodreads'

En dos palabras: IM-PRESIONANTE.

Un libro al nivel del POODR o "Clean code" cuando aparecieron... y con la fortuna para quien no domine el inglés de estar escrito en español.

Ameno y didáctico, se repasan desde los fundamentos hasta la getión y prevención de errores, pasando por los principios SOLID y heurísticas varias.

Puedo decir con total sinceridad que es una lectura MUY recomendable para "todos los niveles": quien esté apenas empezando se quedará con un X % (bajo), y quien lleve 20 años haciéndolo será capaz de apreciar seguramente todo su contenido (y aún así, difícil sería que no aprendiera algo nuevo o refrescase algo importante ya "olvidado" o asentara algún concepto).

Lo he disfrutado muchísimo y he aprendido :-)

Kim Malone Scott: Radical Candor (Paperback, 2019, St. Martin's Press)

Radical Candor is a simple idea: to be a good boss, you have to Care …

Review of 'Radical Candor' on 'Goodreads'

I should seriously stop reading "people management" books from USA companies/people... like this one. The cultural differences (both in life and work) are a real thing. I don't find it worth taking into account the Signal-to-noise Ratio that I usually find in them. I often find too much praise for individualism, workaholism, and "meritocracy", among other things... And this book is not an exception, sorry to say :-/

From my point of view, there are a few good ideas in this book, but for each good one, I have found other nine "not so good ones", so I wouldn't dare to recommend it. I would better recommend reading "Nonviolent Communication", for example.
