About Me Follow me on Twitter Newsletter Sign Up Hello, thanks for reading! A little about me, I have been an engineering manager at Fortune 100 companies and startups. This list represents the books that I have found valuable in my career. If you want to see what I'm reading checkout my list on GoodRead's list. Use the above buttons if you want to hear about my ramblings on engineering leadership. Getting Started First book If you are going to read one book off of this list, I highly recommend the following: The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier Best of the List There are a ton of great books on this list, but if you want to start out reading the top books, I would recommend the following: The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier Managing Humans by Michael Lopp Managing the Unmanageable by Mickey W. Mantle and Ron Lichty The Making of a Manager by Julie Zhuo An Elegant Puzzle - Systems of Engineering Management by Will Larson Book selection The books or subjects aren't in any particular order so feel free to dive into the topics that you want to learn more about. Reading advice Personally, I prefer audiobooks. They allow me to listen to books while I'm cooking in the kitchen, cleaning up my room, taking a walk around my neighborhood, commuting, etc. Usually, I listen to them at 1.5x to 2x the speed depending on how fast the person narrates the book. Feedback If you have any feedback feel free to fill out this super quick survey. I would love to hear from you!
