Becoming a Technical Leader: An Organic Problem-Solving Approach - Jerry Weinberg (and many other great books by him) - a book I've read and re-read many times. A brief review here - https://blog.mkorman.uk/book-review-becoming-a-technical-lea...


I’m surprised this book didn’t come up sooner, it’s a fantastic book.

To my knowledge the only book mentioned here that takes the time to define technical leadership and present models of leadership suited potentially to different circumstances.

I might add ‘The art and science of doing engineering’ by hamming and recently republished by stripe.

The more leadership or management books I read the more inclined I am to respect Taleb’s approach of looking for old timeless material rather than what’s new or hot.

Most of what Gerald Weinberg has written qualifies IMO. Tom DeMarcos books also.


Strongly second this book. It's a deeply methodical book with questions at the end of each chapter that really help you understand yourself and your leadership style.

I read it 8 years ago and it got me to consistently write everyday what I was thinking and feeling about my projects and team
