Book Description:
There is a saying that individuals do not quit companies but rather managers. Management is essential to any organization, yet the discipline is frequently unstructured and self-taught. It can be the difference between team satisfaction and dissatisfaction and, ultimately, the success or failure of a business if teams successfully resolve complex management problems.
An Elegant Puzzle by Will Larson focuses on the unique challenges of engineering management, such as team allocation, technical debt, and succession planning. It provides a path to the best solutions. Using his experience at Digg, Uber, and Stripe, Will Larson has devised a well-considered approach to engineering management that can be applied by leaders at all levels and sizes of businesses. An Elegant Puzzle balances structured principles and human-centered thinking to assist any leader in developing more effective and rewarding engineering organizations.
