2 points · Open discussionIndeed. I found other awesome lists that cover these topics and linked them instead. Check out https://github.com/charlax/engineering-management and https://github.com/LappleApple/awesome-leading-and-managing as examples.
In Engineering Managementanother good list is here:
https://github.com/charlax/engineering-management#1-1
In The Engineering Manager's BooklistThere is a nice compilation of articles in a github repo, divided by topic. https://github.com/charlax/engineering-management
Leadership is an expansive topic and I don't think it's possible to nail it. "Turn the Ship Around" I think really nails the strategy of Functional Leadership, plus it's a true story.
Keep in mind that Leadership and Management are two very different topics that people often conflate.
In Ask HN: Best book / resources on leadership, especially for tech teams?I keep a list of all the resources that have inspired and helped me here: https://github.com/charlax/engineering-management
It starts with a few high-level book recommendations, and blog articles for more specific topics.
My favorite book, which has not been listed in this thread, is: Turn the Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders. David Marquet, who used to command a nuclear submarine, explains how he achieved high levels of motivation and output thanks to empowering his team.
In Ask HN: Going from Developer to Manager. What should I know or learn?I maintain a list of engineering management resources here: https://github.com/charlax/engineering-management
I think it provides a pretty comprehensive list of topics that you could chat about during your interviews. Rather than making a good impression, you should talk truthfully about those topics. Worst case you'll learn something about them. Management is a great role that requires constant learning.
Good luck for the interviews!
