A newsletter from Luca Rossi. His articles are simple, visual and easy to follow. His hand-drawn diagrams make reading enjoyable.

Management 101

It’s a practical list of actions about essential management fundamentals. It got me through the first year of being a lead and it is still in my reading list for a quick refresher. In my humble opinion, “Management 101” is the essential baseline for any engineering lead.

Level Up

The same source as Management 101 but take it to the next level. It provides a comprehensive guide on how to be a good manager. It covers culture, people, kindness, empathy, culture, delegation, influence, courage, and a lot more.
