It’s an instruction manual meant for those entering their first forays into management. She doesn’t focus on high-minded strategies and initiatives and frameworks for success, but instead digs into what it means to go from a senior designer into a manager of designers, and coping with the transition and its new set of responsibilities. Despite her position, however, the book feels down-to-earth. That said, the author is a VP of Design at Facebook, a prestigious title and role at one of the biggest companies in the world.
Happily, The Making of a Manageris written by a designer. I’ve come across more books recently which authored by engineers and engineering managers, though I’m generally wary of suggestions that feel like they overfit into a tech company niche. Most of the good ones are written by tenured executives, while the advice bestowed by management consultants tends to be hit-or-miss. There is certainly no shortage of management books 1.
