*or other media; video, article, etc.

The Phoenix Project (and The Unicorn Project) by Gene Kim really opened my eyes up as an engineer and made me feel like I could start fixing the problems I was seeing on my team, on my project, and in my organization.

I started reading The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier and have really appreciated how straightforward and relevant it is.

Help me fill my Amazon cart!

I haven’t read many management books but there are several on my list. The New One Minute Manager has probably been the most impactful.

Other books on my desk waiting to be read are: Elevate Your Team by Robert Glazer and I Love it Here by Clint Pulver.
