What an amazing event (The Middle Ground) by Middleware. Thanks a lot for organizing it Dhruv Agarwal and the Middleware team, and trusting me to deliver a talk. Amazing discussions over some pizza and chai. I spoke on "The Bookish Knowledge of Engineering Management". There are two ways to learn - one from your own experience and another from others' experience. However, there's only so many experiences one can have in their own lifetime. The more scalable way to learn is through others' experiences and authors around the world have done a great job at structuring and explaining their management experiences and learnings. This talk focused on sharing the learnings from the following books in the context of Engineering Management: - High Output Management - Extreme Ownership - One Minute Manager - Drive - Radical Candor Will share the presentation soon. Comment if you want to be notified about the presentation. #engineering #management #books #learning
