Successful Engineering Culture
The Manager’s Playbook for Scaling Through Culture—Without Losing Your Mind
About the Book
Engineering Culture is a practical guide for CTOs and engineering managers who want to stop firefighting and start scaling. Instead of relying on fuzzy, feel-good values or crowd-sourced wish lists, this book offers a bold idea: culture should be built top-down—as a management tool. Drawing on 30 years of leadership experience and years of CTO coaching, Stephan Schmidt shows how to define, roll out, and enforce an engineering culture that actually works. One that reduces cognitive load, creates alignment, and builds “automatic management” systems—so you can focus on what really matters. This is not culture for culture’s sake. It’s the culture you deserve.
