2. The book is very hard to follow. Most things are related but in random places. The overall structure of the book is not an easy follow. Reading it, you seem to remember reading something similar before. Very LinkedIn post vibes of same thing different page.

3. Overall this book presents interesting management topics and some relevant studies. Unfortunately most of the information is structured in often repetitive bullet points and the « case studies » lack depth and complexity. I would have liked the author to structure the book better and find more information corroborating his assertions.

4. Most of the book is about what to do as a great Engineering Manager. It certainly helps when you want to become one.But I’m an IC and don’t want to be a manager. I was interested in what I can do as a leading (staff, principal, etc.) engineer.This wasn’t very obvious while reading the book since the different leadership roles were only described in the last chapter.
