As a Developer, I would buy a book or pay for a class on a topic covering how do you improve team dynamics and strive for success. Most of my schooling and knowledge is from the perspective of building a 'thing' and it would be great to learn how to rebuild a team when management is lackluster. Out here in Silicon Valley there are a lot of inexperienced managers working on good or great products, and as an engineer you might recognize the problems, but not know how to help them, or nudge them in the right direction.
It would be nice to learn from the experience of others rather than having to learn on your own each time.
Maybe this is something to talk about at FAILCON?
- rhizome 13y agoI've had recommended "The 360deg Manager"
- jasonwocky 13y agoI'd recommend just about anything by Jerry Weinberg, starting with "Becoming a Technical Leader". "How Software is Built" and "Why Software Gets in Trouble" are also great, as are much of the rest of his opus, but I'm one of those folks who really resonates with his perspective.
