Leadership lessons I learnt from Will Larson
10 timeless leadership lessons from Will Larson that shaped my journey through every step of engineering management.
👋 Hey, it’s Stephane. Welcome to my weekly newsletter where I share lessons, and stories from my journey to help you lead with confidence as an Engineering Manager.
Will Larson is the author of amazing books like An Elegant Puzzle and Staff Engineer and his blog is also very active and top-notch. I recommend his material to all Engineering Leaders.
Last year he published The Engineering Executive’s Primer which I somehow missed, so when I noticed it recently, I had to get it delivered ASAP.
The truth is, that this book is for experienced leaders and not so much aspiring or new EMs which I know you might be.
So after reading it, I thought what a great tribute to him it would be if I collected all the wisdom I have got from him throughout the years and shared it with you:
For engineers working towards becoming a manager
For first-time managers
For managers working towards exec roles
Let’s get into it.
