Leading in Tech
summary
Argues leadership is for the people being led not the leader, and lays out concrete roles: mentor, tech lead, principal/staff, public leader, manager and senior leadership, with practical actions — run regular one‑to‑ones, build career progression frameworks, mentor formally, publish blog posts, speak at meetups, work on OSS (mentions symphony core and version 5.1.2) and contribute to projects at bud (services primarily written in Go). Recommends the book "The Manager’s Path" and illustrates stress handling with the poop umbrella/funnel/fan metaphor, emphasizes listening, generate clarity and speak last.
