The Making of a Manager

What to Do When Everyone Looks to You

Julie Zhuo · 2019

When Julie Zhuo became a manager at 25, she had no idea what she was doing, and this is the guide she wished she’d had. Drawing on her years leading design teams at Facebook, she covers the real work of management: giving feedback, running good meetings, hiring, and building trust. Honest about her own mistakes, she offers concrete advice for new managers finding their footing. Practical and human, it treats management as a craft anyone can learn.

Really good. One of my most highlighted books of all time. I learned so much about being a manager, and my management skills (and our team's effectiveness and happiness) immediately improved after I started to do some of the things that Julie recommends.
