Engineering MBA: Be The Boss of Your Own Work
summary
Covers three MBA courses distilled for developers: situational leadership with four concrete styles (directing, coaching, supporting, delegating) and when to use each; competitive advantage applied to a blogging example deciding to build a HIPAA comment moderation feature in-house but outsource email delivery and use a gem for pagination; process management workflow (design, model, pilot, monitor, optimize) with KPIs and a warning that automating a bad process yields an automated mess.
