Behind Closed Doors: Secrets of Great Management Review by Slick Rhoads
A Must-Read For Managers and Technical Leads
In my opinion, this book is a must-read for every Manager and Technical-Lead on the planet.
The book is a fictional story centered around a Manager whom has just been hired on at a company. For the next 8 weeks, it follows him around, showing the reader how he handles the issues that arise with his direct reports (four managers). Personality issues, prioritization - it's all here. It's awesome.
I'm a technical lead, looking to make the jump to Architect. Much of an Architects job (at least where I work), is about influencing and mentoring others. This book has given me a wealth of insight into how to deal with the management aspect of the job at the next level.
I highly recommend.
