The Making of a Manager

Some solid advice on how to be a great manager. I would be more inclusive in my leadership in some cases, where Zhuo leaned on more traditional hierarchy, but in alot if cases we share the same view. Worth reading.

This book is basically what I was hoping and expecting it to be: a first-person perspective on management at a modern-day tech company, with accompanying insights on how to do this job in a successful and rewarding way. I frequently had to suspend by annoyance at the general "Lean In"-feminism style of complicity with the dysfunctional and abusive power structures that underlie tech companies like Facebook, so I can't really recommend it uncynically, but it definitely gave me a lot to think about. I especially liked the concrete examples of questions to ask reports during 1:1s and blueprints for successful meetings and interviews.
