It has a very good toolset for first time EM’s, or for anyone that wants to review some proven ways of working. It is structured in 5 chapters (“Meet your team”, “Grow your teammates”, “Set clear expectations”, “Communicate Effectively” and “Build resiliency”), and it’s full of good tips, with a human-centric approach. Very useful for these turbulent times!
Camille’s path will be very helpful for many getting into the technical management track. She went from Tech Lead to CTO - and describes the challenges as she switched roles. It served me to realize that once you’re managing people - that has to be the main priority, and the IC track (ie: fixing problems, developing) comes to a second place, or you end being a very weak and non present manager. I also liked that she covers multiple company sizes and stages, so it’s a quite representative journey.
