From Geek to LeadA Techie's Guide to Leadership
Leadership takes more than expertise.
Written with techies in mind, but just as relevant to those leading technical teams without a technical background—and to leaders in any field.
Being good at what you do doesn't automatically prepare you to lead others. From Geek to Lead explores what happens when we move from doing the work ourselves to helping others succeed. Drawing on real experiences, practical lessons, and a healthy dose of humor, it offers insights into the challenges of becoming a leader.
Whether you're managing your first team, leading an organization, or just beginning to explore what leadership means, it's a practical guide, not a theoretical textbook.
