A Guide for Engineering Executives: Technical Leadership for Organizational Success is a book I recently read. This book discusses the mindset and practices necessary for leading technical organizations as a VP of Engineering, CTO, or other top technical leadership roles.
It covers a wide range of responsibilities for technical leaders, including hiring, organizational design, technical strategy, and collaboration with the executive team. Rather than focusing on individual management techniques, the book emphasizes a systems-level perspective to oversee and operate the organization as a whole. The content serves as a compass for engineers, engineering managers, and current VPs of Engineering aspiring to become Engineering Executives in the future.
