The Path to Staff Engineer: A Guide to Becoming an Excellent Technical Professional was a compelling read.
It serves as a compass for software engineers who have the opportunity to demonstrate leadership in teams, projects, and organizations.
The book also touches on aspects like vision and strategy formulation, making it a valuable resource for those aspiring to positions like Architect or CTO.
There is extensive discussion on the skills required to lead an organization, such as ways of thinking, communication, and behavior.
It allows you to identify the skills you lack and offers moments of empathy where you find yourself thinking, "I understand... I understand...", making it a rewarding read.
In Japan, it seems rare to see job postings for the position of Staff Engineer, but I believe there are many organizations seeking the kind of contributions described in this book.
