Crazy that no one mentioned the Mythical Man Month by Fred J. Brooks (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13629.The_Mythical_Man_Month https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13629.The_Mythical_Man_M...). I thought it was the definitive classic. I also like to recommend Coders at Work by Peter Seibel (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6713575-coders-at-work https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6713575-coders-at-work). It's incredibly useful to read about just how different 16 ultra high performing software engineers are/were. Nothing prepares you for technical leadership better than understanding that. EDIT: just saw that Mythical Man Month was added 1 minute prior to my comment.
