Leading Engineering Teams in the AI Era
The manager's playbook for AI-native engineering organizations
This book is 100% completeLast updated on 2026-06-15
The first book that addresses engineering management specifically for the AI-native era. Classic EM books like The Manager's Path and An Elegant Puzzle predate agentic coding tools — this one starts where they left off. Every chapter
produces a concrete artifact: a hiring rubric, a performance calibration guide, a budget template, a rollout plan. By the end, you have a complete management playbook for leading engineering teams where agents write most of the code.
