the book went into a wider range of areas of technical leadership at all levels in enough depth to be useful, but not too much depth to become dry and dull!
I'd recommend it to people entering technical leadership roles as well as people already established in leadership.

Useful advice for someone beginning their management journey. Has some overlapping concepts with other management books so can be a bit repetitive but still helpful nonetheless.
