The Manager's Path

Camille Fournier

Why I recommend it

Fournier clearly describes the different jobs within technical leadership, from mentoring to managing managers. Each stage asks for something different.

What it changed in my thinking

Moving forward can mean letting go of work we know well. A new title may require learning a new job.

Who it’s useful for

Engineers considering management and technical leaders at any level.

A tension or limitation

Titles and responsibilities vary between companies. Use the path as a guide, not a promise.
