As an engineering manager, you almost always have someone in your company to
turn to for advice: a peer on another team, your manager, or even the head of
engineering. But who do you turn to if you're the head of engineering?
Engineering executives have a challenging learning curve, and many folks
excitedly start their first executive role only to leave frustrated within the
first 18 months.
In this book, author Will Larson shows you ways to obtain your first executive
job and quickly ramp up to meet the challenges you may not have encountered in
non-executive roles: measuring engineering for both engineers and the CEO,
company-scoped headcount planning, communicating successfully across a growing
organization, and figuring out what people actually mean when they keep asking
for a "technology strategy."
This book explains how to:
Get an engineering executive job, negotiate the contract, and onboard at your
new company
Run an engineering planning process and communicate effectively with the
organization
Direct the core meetings necessary to operate an effective engineering
organization
Hire, onboard, and run performance management
Manage yourself and remain effective through many challenges
Leave the job when the time is right
