Oh, the Management Mistakes You Will Make!
summary
A practical checklist of eight concrete management mistakes and how to avoid them: treating promotion as a ladder instead of a craft, doing the coding job poorly while managing, becoming the sole architect, assuming unstated expectations, making snap decisions, letting poor behavior slide until it needs a PIP, delivering bad news unrehearsed, and never saying no. Recommends concrete actions like write a statement of work, pair heavily for knowledge transfer, use RFCs and Kanban, rehearse tough conversations, and protect thinking time.
