The books Camille Fournier references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Andrew Grove
Grove distils Intel's management philosophy into actionable principles. Output is what matters - a manager's job is to increase the output of their team and adjacent teams.
by Kim Scott
Scott argues that great management requires caring personally while challenging directly. Most managers fail by being either ruinously empathetic or obnoxiously aggressive.
by Tom DeMarco
DeMarco argues software's major problems are sociological, not technical - broken teams, noisy offices, and bad management. Productivity depends on quiet space, autonomy, and conditions for flow.
by Frederick Brooks
Brooks argues that adding more programmers to a late project makes it later - a principle now known as Brooks' Law. The deeper insight: software complexity grows faster than headcount, making communication the real bottleneck.
by Patrick Lencioni
Lencioni uses a leadership fable to diagnose five interconnected failures that cripple teams: absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results.
