I remember I picked up your book when I was searching for something that gives me pragmatic insights into the day to day of engineering managers and it rightly served the purpose.

Fast forward after 4 years, I'm writing a book for engineering managers, out to tell a story to the world, in my own words.

You're absolutely right. Engineering Management is an intricate subject and everyone's perspectives bring unique style and it's not at all a binary.

Hi James, How coincidental! After exactly an year, my book will be available in the next few days: https://www.highperformingmanager.com/. I would love to get your feedback, if you have a chance to read it.

Phenomenal write-up, James. As usual.

I'm stoked for the new book for two reasons: first, because if the first two are any indication, the third one can only be great—and likely even better; and because the topic itself is indeed the biggest gap I see in the tech leadership realm.

In fact, I have been toying with this very idea for ages, but never got over the hump. I hope your new book is the first of many such looks on a role I've done myself and which can be both super rewarding and mind-boggling at the same time. :)

Thank you!

I think it’s the right time and I think (I hope) I have the content in a rough shape — in my head at least — to be practical and actionable.

Let’s see where we get to. 😀
