I wasn't expecting a lot from this book, but I found it to have solid advice for tech managers at all levels. It could have been more concise, and I'll have to listen to it again when I have time to take a few notes.

A good, comprehensive book for tech mgrs

As a new manager, I’ve found value and strategies that I could adopt to get started. I’ve also understood why certain things happen and how to apply different processes to different situations. No one solution fits all, and that’s an important starting point for managers to be.
