Description
This book, with its first-person tone and abundance of candor fills a big gap in the professional development literature. There are plenty of books about iconic figures in management and technology but they offer little insight on how executive leaders are formed, or how they experience growth from successful engineers to leaders. Pete's insights and radical candor is a resource that will pay dividends through multiple reads, and well worth coming back to when career challenges or decisions present themselves. It should be a permanent nightstand book for technology professionals who are finding their way into positions of increasing responsibility.--Dr. Miguel Pinilla, Senior Technical Fellow, Flexport Clear and practical wisdom - made real through engaging personal stories that will benefit any professional, especially those early in their careers. Pete generously shares practical lessons from an exceptional 37-year career. There is a wealth of ideas here that will help technical professionals develop their own successful careers.--Scott Wahl, Vice President, Product Operations PointClickCare
